Remember, They All Work Eventually For the Same People
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Here is another of those accounts, M, @Mitchell10500, that while not too active is worth taking a deeper dive into.
While minted in 2014 it first began tweeting February 27, 2019, indicating inauthenticity, or being bought.
What is more interesting is the followers, which has many far-right, and far-left extremists including two of Louise Mensch’s (far-right) current accounts.
While it isn’t too odd to see Mensch follow various accounts, it is when mostly everybody we have covered in this series save Fionda and Welna are also doing so. Additionally Mitchell is generally a mutual follower of these accounts shown.
They aren’t even hiding.
Seeing Rocco and Mensch following the same account should surprise, but doesn’t. Neither do the next couple, seeing as we already previously identified this as a far rightwing account.
And here is the other surprise, from BunnySec.
Oh the misogyny!
The account is anti-Trump, consistently, yet the integration with so many of the Ops on both extremes waves flags aplenty. Same with the clear misogyny.
The account also is one of four to be following the following likely Maccabee account.
“Sam” is likely Maccabee based on the attack lines, the lack of pull with other ops, with three bots and M being its only followers.
Here are a few accounts M follows without a follow back.
Here was something that all the Ops should encounter! Perhaps this was a feature being tested, but YEAH, this would help clean up Twitter of the trolling if it was rolled out to everyone.
This feels like a good way to sum things up.
