Conspiracy theories have flooded the internet in recent years and a growing number of people are avoiding mainstream news.
Eliot Higgins, founder of the open source investigative organisation Bellingcat, thinks this is partly down to a lack of trust in institutions, which is leading to a crisis of democracy in Britain and elsewhere.
He discusses why we need to spend less time online, improve media literacy and how Bellingcat has built a community of open source investigators on Discord.
Eliot also explains how his team tracked down the Russian agents behind the Salisbury poisonings, took on Putin’s Kremlin and uncovered what really happened to Malaysian Airlines flight MH17.
