“Mrs Shemirani, I’m going to have to stop you.” Those words, spoken by the coroner at a court in Kent, have become the soundtrack to my summer…” Interview with @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social observer.co.uk/style/featur...

Finally catching up with this fascinating listening from the marvellous @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social Proof that there are some right fruit loops out there who will believe any old tripe and no mistake.

BBC Social Media Investigations Correspondent @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social discusses her experience with online harassment and trolling. From the 2025 Cambridge Disinformation Summit keynote. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW7R...

Loved listening to season 2 of Conspiracyland. Amazing and eye opening to the trolls and false claims out there for people at their lowest. Well done to @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social

Fascinating, gripping, terrifying 😬 An excellent read @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social I'll be recommending to friends. And I think I'll stick to the quiet life on Bluesky & liking cat posts

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social really excellent podcast on Paloma Shemirani. Think it’s as angry as I’ve ever felt listening to a podcast. But an important story that needs to be widely heard.

Finally got round to listening to @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social podcast about the death of Paloma Shemirani. Tragic, terrifying, frustrating. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

Speeding up the commute with this gripping and desperately sad podcast. A ‘good education’ doesn’t always win against the emotional pull of medical misinformation. Kudos to Paloma’s brothers for their public service in sharing their family tragedy with such eloquence www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

… and for a powerful story of something similar — a “health” influencer’s daughter dying in her early 20’s because her mum (seemingly) told her chemo caused cancer … I can thoroughly recommend this from @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This series by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social is excellent - and unnerving. You don’t imagine the impact of medical conspiracy theories until they get close to you. By the time your family is down that rabbit hole it’s too late to drag them out.

Sometimes when investigating disinformation online you can forget that this is about real people, living in the real world, having families and friends. And conspiracy theories cause real harm. This new podcast by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social is a reminder. open.spotify.com/episode/36Eo...

Catching up with @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social‘s excellent (and disturbing) documentary series on dangerous/lethal conspiracy theories www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Just listened to the latest series of Marianna In Conspiracyland with @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social, I'd highly recommend it, it tells a sad and disturbing story of medical conspiracy theories leading to the death of a young woman from cancer www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

@ellapickover.bsky.social Hi Ella - I was wondering if you could follow me back so I can send you a DM? Thanks!

Snaps behind the scenes ! New series of Marianna in Conspiracyland podcast & Panorama investigation exposing tactics of conspiracy theory movement in the pipeline & BBC Two doc on social media algorithms changing the world - plus Americast eps on Musk, undercover voters & more!

At @stir.ac.uk yesterday we had the pleasure of hearing from @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social in our investigations class. She had tons and tons of advice and was extremely generous with her time. A fantastic guest!

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social's BBC Podcasts and her book, Among the Trolls, also do a great job of exploring the people engaged in disordered discourse, and their motivations. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/m...

A month-ish in the life of the BBC’s social media investigations correspondent! Lots of eps of Americast, working on a new investigation for Panorama & series 2 of Radio 4’s Marianna in Conspiracyland podcast & a BBC Two doc on social media algorithms - plus my paperback is out.

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social Marianna Spring is the most sophisticated, switched on and innovative workaholic of the BBC and probably any news organization. Thank you for your service, I'm always listening to your interesting, unbiased analysis. Keep rocking 😎 ✨️ 👌🏻

An analysis of Trump's AI-generated "rage-baiting" video on Gaza, by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Important analysis from @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social on this latest “rage bait” clip...

#US President #DonaldTrump sparked a social media frenzy on Wednesday when he posted a #video of #Gaza generated by artificial intelligence on his site #TruthSocial. @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social has been analysing the #online #tactics of Trump and his team.

Going on holiday bought myself a little treat at the Eurotunnel. Been meaning to get to this for ages! @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social

Listened to this on run today open.spotify.com/episode/5mbq... with the great @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social @zurch.bsky.social - vert interesting take that perhaps wider plan is Mars and to generalise a quote perhaps the US and geopolitics is being ‘put through a wood chipper’ to achieve that ?

Astute, informed analysis+discussion by BBC’s @zurch.bsky.social @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social+Justin Webb of #Trump’s ‘flooding the zone’ strategy and how #Democrats and #media should respond. What gets through? What to ignore? #podcast #US #politics

With the fabulous @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social

*GUEST CO-HOST KLAXON ALERT!* Join Marianna Spring for a very special #booksoftheyear when she’ll be interviewing the one and only Simon Mayo (yes!) about his brilliant new novel, Black Tag. Available from Wednesday! #blacktag #simonmayo @simonmayo.bsky.social @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social

An interesting investigation into social media rabbit holes and the people who fall into them. Journalist @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social conducts illuminating experiments with social media accounts, and meets conspiracy theorists face-to-face with an open mind. #books #bookSky 📚💙📚💡

If you’re interested in how conspiracy theories impact those who are victims of them, I highly recommend @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social’s “Conspiracyland”. As someone interested in the future of information literacy, this has been thought-provoking and heart-wrenching. #booksky #booktok

Well worth a listen, thanks to @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social

Marianna Spring on the decline of Twitter/X www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social

Some of my favourite books of the year. @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social @historyalice.bsky.social Dan Jones All excellent. My no.1 book of the year. The Red Roses @jesshayden.bsky.social So well written. With an exciting 2025 for the women’s game coming up. #Books

Brilliant few weeks back from US working on next social media investigations - for Panorama, podcasts & docs - exposing impact of online conspiracy theories and algorithms! Plus lots more episodes of Americast (with undercover voters) on BBC Sounds, analysis about X, and more.

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social Loved "Why do you hate me USA". As a Brit observing US politics, it was a real insight. Great reporting.

Hi @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social - just catching up on latest #americast and listening to you and Justin talking about #bluesky…. so while donating blood from one arm I’m using my ‘free hand’ to enquire if this is real Marianne or fake Mariannne? Anyway, all the best - from Goulburn, NSW 🇦🇺

Seeing @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social is on here perhaps I should start with where I left off X. My reaction to the exposure of the conspiracy criminal Richard Hall, brought to justice by my friend and ambassador Martin Hibbert. Thoughts welcome.... www.linkedin.com/posts/nik-ha...

An absolutely fascinating Media Confidential with @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social and @arusbridger.bsky.social about the boom of disinformation on new media and its affects on not just individuals but society as a whole. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...
