Recent GPS interference near Venezuela and Trinidad, per GPSJAM, as noticed by a Bellingcat workshop participant. I believe this is a recent development for the area. CC @lemonodor.bsky.social

I went to the opening of this exhibition last week It features a cool Bellingcat display, showing the work we (primarily Ollie Ballinger @yoruk.bsky.social, Bridget Diakun @godin.bsky.social & Youri van der Weide) produced to track Russian ships surreptitiously exporting grain from occupied Crimea

New satellite images show the scale of demolition that has occurred on the East Wing of the White House in less than a month.

Another Russian ship has been added to the grain smuggling fleet, captured on camera and on satellite imagery, evading sanctions to deliver grain from occupied Crimea to Houthi-controlled Yemen. Follow its covert journey here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/10...

These are the top replies, being financially rewarded for posting this stuff, and the explanation offered by the site’s own AI for why it’s like that. Anyway just flicking through the Sunday newspapers reading about some minor content infractions that Ofcom might look into at the BBC/Channel 4.

Latest: How a deepfake video infiltrated Indian media coverage of the escalating India and Pakistan conflict… www.bellingcat.com/news/rest-of...

Big story from @bellingcat.com this morning, working with @tjekdet.dk CBC and @politiken.dk to identify a key administrator behind MrDeepfakes -- one of the largest providers of non-consensual deepfake pornography in the world

Why it’s time we change how we talk about conspiracy theories www.cnn.com/2025/05/03/p...

CBS News quietly updated their story. I still don’t understand how WaPo could’ve reported it first if I was the one who “uncovered” it, but I guess it’s an improvement.

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

A question I have is whether illegal streaming could ever undercut broadcast deals so much that it leads to broadcasters lowering prices for legit coverage. That may mean less money for future broadcast deals ... and potentially a competitive rebalancing between leagues www.ft.com/content/3f49...

Agree people don’t know what councils do etc. But I also think the public is reasonable enough to question why the local area looks dirty/declining etc while council tax bills have gone up and up and up and up and up. Politically it’s therefore currently ripe for undeliverable promises

We published this really important story with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org this week. It details the actions of a US border patrol unit operating a long way from home and who, according to rights groups far exceeded its authority in targeting and rounding up people who were later deported

On March 23, a convoy of aid workers, traveling in vehicles marked with emergency flashing lights, was struck by gunfire in Gaza. Bellingcat used video footage of the incident to perform an audio analysis of the shooting. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/04...

With AI, almost anyone can create almost any image and text. However, that often leads to errors and distortions with real-life consequences for those relying on AI-generated products. How AI is fueling e-commerce scams, in partnership with @bellingcat.com and hosted by @koltai.bsky.social

It’s already hard to judge whether products you buy online will be the right size or not, but what if the product doesn’t even exist? @koltai.bsky.social helps you to distinguish between real and AI-generated products online. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

AI opens up possibilities for creation — and for fraud. When almost anyone can make almost anything without human expertise, the errors and distortions can have real-world impacts. @evidentmedia.org partnered with @bellingcat.com and @koltai.bsky.social to show how. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvYq...
