Socks and Friends

A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge

Susan herself has a load of socks so she can pretend to be three people calling someone a horse. Strange. But so is Susan who loves stolen moments looking at Magic Player’s butt cracks. Here is a fourth one.

MolochLuvsYou like many of the network’s socks, has low follower levels, is used to engage inauthentically amplifying key messages from within the group, and typically is active sporadically. It’s creation date was December 2021, with less than 350 tweets total. Comparing MLY to Sue’s other socks Octopus_teach, Jan. 2022 with 23.3K, and Sbdvagabundo, June 2021 near 3,450, it is underutilized.

MLY after going dormant for over three weeks tweeted again.

This account looks like a Susan managed account based on its interactions mostly amplifying her own messages and that glaring gap of activity while she went to Peru and got that nasty infection. Don’t worry though. MLY is still alive.

Frankly, it doesn’t matter all that much whose sock is whose when it is possible to pass off accounts to others in the network to manage while one is on vacation. What does matter is flagging which accounts are part of the single purpose multi account hate network I have dubbed the KassandraSeven Network seeing as she is the central cog all the others have had to cover most for.

Not being on a timer operating using a script makes socks less likely to be identified when engaging in platform manipulation as a bot is. That may be why the network has at least one-hundred of these so-called burner accounts in circulation.

There are plenty of other socks.

The old BlackKnight10K was one of the large social media influence accounts likely targeted via mass reporting by the network over the last couple of months, which brings up the primary purpose of these smaller sock accounts. Along with bots and FIVERR contracted actions, it is highly likely these bad actors of the KassandraSeven group took down the majority of the big resister accounts in January.

Some they got suspended via mass reporting after their targets defended themselves. Others conspirator0 likely did so when no rule was ever broken. Here Sues left and right socks remark on how uncanny that suspension happening was.

Uncanny indeed.
