I feel like the idea is more interesting than the project itself. A little repetitive and with no deep insight beyond what has already been said a million times

I have so much respect for Marianna Spring taking on this cesspool of trolls. She is unique in that not only does she fight for the victims but she genuinely tries to understand the trolls and what motivates them, sometimes finding that they are victims themselves.
I don't feel positive about our future or that the SM platforms that drive the hate will be held to account anytime soon.

An extremely interesting deep-dive into the world of online trolls, vitriol and conspiracy theories - that are more relevant and prevalent than ever. 

Marianna Spring not only sheds light on these issues, but shares the people on both sides of the screen - those affected by conspiracy theories and those peddling them, and humanising both. Really excellent, I highly recommend!

This is an eye-opening commentary on a real 21st century problem. Conspiracy theories have been around for a huge number of years but in today’s world they all seem to have been supercharged and with the explosion of social media in today’s world it feels like these can spread like wildfire. 
 
Marianna Spring presents the uncomfortable truth of what is going on in the world and she presents this in a non-judgemental but highly knowledgeable way that is engaging to read and learn about and it’s clear that she has a pure passion for her job and opening all our eyes to what’s going on in the online world we all are apart off. Marianna not only fights for the victims, but she also tries to uncover and understand the trolls and what motivates them. 
 
A Really insightful read that really shines a spotlight on the world and people of Conspiracyland!
