Use concealment

From ADTAC Disinformation Inventory

T0012

Use anonymous social media profiles.

Examples:

  • 2016 @TEN_GOP profile where the actual Tennessee Republican Party tried unsuccessfully for months to get Twitter to shut it down, and 2019 Endless Mayfly is an Iran-aligned network of inauthentic personas and social media accounts that spreads falsehoods and amplifies narratives critical of Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Israel.
  • Page or group administrators, masked "whois" website directory data, no bylines connected to a news article, no masthead connected to news websites.[1]
