I think by now it should be clear that false flag accusations are going to happen immediately after any major incident. It's rather sad, but that's how some people are.
The upside of it being a regular thing is that the media has become more familiar with the phenomena, and to an extent are educating the public about just how ridiculous the vast majority of the claims are.
But it's going to happen again and again. The question is: can anything be done to improve the situation? Or will it just get worse?
Yes, I'm in the habit of immediately googling "false flag" the minute I hear of a tragedy these days...
and--without fail--there is already at least one dumb YouTube video declaring whatever happened as a "false flag."
It gets people desperately needed attention...it gets ($$) clicks...so I think that will only get worse.
On the other hand, there may be a silver lining:

I was working on my desktop late into the night,
last night, with CNN, Fox News & MSNBC on in the background
(switching from one to another when commercials hit).
My sense was that authorities in general---I mostly saw Chief Jarrod Burguan of San Bernardino PD--
(mindful that early reports on other tragedies had been latched onto and twisted by craven CT types) were being
more measured and cautious in the info they dispensed.
Which is definitely a good thing. It felt like less unsubstantiated speculation than in the old days...
like the authorities were trying to be very cautious not to say things that would be hard to justify later.
So, my sense was--that even though they were doing it for an ugly reason
(i.e. a defensive measure against
wild, crazy "false flag" and other conspiracy theories)--it was positive to hear them stick closer to the little that
was
actually known, than other spokespersons had generally done in the past.
(Sorry to be unusually vague) The media clearly wanted more "answers"...but Burguan, etc. seemed less prone to try to fill in the blanks with speculation...
