Now it makes sense why Alice was sending me that kitten in a mixer video.

But seriously, in a case before a court or jury, wouldn't there be much more evidence? Down to your own lawyer sending a complete dump of your phone with all those Sandy-Hooks-conspiracies and hate messages to the opposing side?

Sometimes instead of a complete dump, you might mutually agree on a third party forensic lab to analyze your phone and only provide relevant details to the opposing side. Usually there's a few rounds of review where you can remove some details/records that are not relevant before the distilled records are sent to the opposing counsel.

Deniability is just that, the opportunity to deny. Will denying change what people believe? Well, maybe or maybe not. I'm sure you can think of your own examples without me annoying the moderators.
