A sock puppet is defined as a person whose actions are controlled by another.[1] It is a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock, and is often used to refer to alternative online identities or user accounts used for purposes of deception. Online, it came to be used to refer to a false identity assumed by a member of an internet community who spoke to, or about, themselves while pretending to be another person.[2]

A strawman sockpuppet (sometimes abbreviated as strawpuppet) is a false flag pseudonym created to make a particular point of view look foolish or unwholesome in order to generate negative sentiment against it. Strawman sockpuppets typically behave in an unintelligent, uninformed, or bigoted manner, advancing "straw man" arguments that their puppeteers can easily refute. The intended effect is to discredit more rational arguments made for the same position.[13] Such sockpuppets behave in a similar manner to Internet trolls.
A particular case is the concern troll, a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose actual point of view is opposed to that of the sockpuppet. The concern troll posts in web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) within the group.
Although the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney claimed that this conduct was covered by federal computer fraud legislation against "accessing a computer without authorization via interstate commerce",[19][20] the trial court granted a motion by Drew to throw out the verdict. Drew successfully argued that her use of a false identity did not constitute unauthorized access to MySpace, citing a 1973 breach of contract dispute where a court of appeals ruled that "fraudulently induced consent is consent nonetheless."[21] The prosecution appealed the trial court judge's decision to throw out the guilty verdict, but later dropped its appeal.[22]
In 2014 a Florida state circuit court held that sock puppetry is tortious interference with business relations, and awarded injunctive relief against it during the pendency of litigation. The court found that "the act of falsifying multiple identities" is conduct that should be enjoined. It explained that the conduct was wrongful "not because the statements are false or true, but because the conduct of making up names of persons who do not exist to post fake comments by fake people to support Defendants' position tortiously interferes with Plaintiffs' business" and such "conduct is inherently unfair." The court, therefore, ordered the defendants to "remove or cause to be removed all postings creating the false impression that more [than one] person are commenting on the program th[an] actually exist." The court also found, however, that the comments of the defendants "which do not create a false impression of fake patients or fake employees or fake persons connected to program (those posted under their respective names) are protected by The Constitution of the United States of America, First Amendment."[25]
In late November 2020, TYT Network reported an example of a white male Republican Trump voter having a sockpuppet Twitter account presented as that of a black gay man, criticizing Biden and praising Trump while systematically emphasizing his race and sexual orientation. Additionally, in October of 2020, Clemson University social media researcher identified "more than two dozen of Twitter accounts claiming to be black Trump supporters who gained hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets in a span of just a few days, sparking major doubts about their identities," many using photos of black men from news reports or stock images "including one in which the text 'black man photo' was still watermarked on the image".[38]

The 'Girls Around Me' application, enjoying over 70,000 downloads, allowed a user to view the location of women on a map and their publicly available data and photographs -- pulled from Facebook and Foursquare. Users were also able to then contact the girls based on this information.
The software allows you to save photos from social networking sites and edit out the clothing -- to show the body parts underneath. Of course, the body underneath will not be the actual natural body -- but users can substitute with a stockpile of 'prefabricated images'.
Information including your friends and photos slowly vanished, in order for you to understand how it feels to feel and see your connections to the world evaporate.The campaign to raise awareness of these diseases has now finished.

But if I am herein mistaken, I am so little tender of my Reputation, compared with Truth, that I heartily desire to be confuted and made a Convert; for I am conscious to my [Page]self of no false Fathers I have cited for true ones; of no disguising or perverting their Sense, by an Ill Translation of their Words; (which I have therefore set down in their own Language) of no imposing upon the Reader a Sense of my own making, contrary to what I believe that they intended.
[Page 35] Recite John's Testimony: Recita Johannis testatimem: Quod vidimus, inquit, quod audivimus, oculis nostris vidimus, & manus nostrae contrectaverunt de sermone vitae. Falsa utique testatio, si oculorum & aurium & manuum sensus natura mentitur.That which we have seen, says he, which we have heard, which we have seen with our Eyes, and our Hands have handled of the Word of Life. This is all a false Testification, if the Nature of the Sense of our Eyes, and Ears, and Hands is a Lie and a Cheat.
So also S. Hillary In Psal. 137. Tollit stultissimam eorum temeritatem, qui frustrato falsóque corpore Dominum in carne visum esse contendunt; ut eum Pater ementita veritate in habitu falsae carnis ostenderit; non recordantes post resurrectionem corporis spiritum se videre credentibus Apostolis dictum esse, Quid conturbati, &c. videte manus & pedes meos, quoniam ipse ego sum, palpate & videte, quoniam spiritus carnem & ossa non habet, sicut me videtis habere.He takes away their foolish Rashness, who contend that our Lord was seen in the Flesh in a deceitful and false Body; that the Father feigning Truth, shewed him in the habit of false Flesh, (as the Romanists make Christ's Body to be shewn in habitu falsi panis) not remembring what was said after his Resurrection to the Apostles that thought they saw a Spirit; Why are ye troubled, &c. Behold my Hands and my Feet, that it is I my self; for a Spirit has not Flesh and Bones, as ye see me have.
S. Chrysostome De Resurrect. Hom. 9. Lat. Paris. 1588. Tom. 3. pag. 775. Non est meum meos ludificare phantasmate; vanam imaginem visus si timet, veritatem corporis manus & digitus exploret. Potest fortasse aliqua oculos caligo decipere, palpatio corporalis verum corpus agnoscat. brings in Christ saying thus. It is not my way to mock or abuse mine with a false appearance. If the Sight is afraid of a vain Image, the Hands and Fingers may find out the Truth of my Body. Perhaps some Mist may deceive the Eyes; but a corporal Touch owns a Body.
Again Ibid. l. 29. c. 2. Illud est quod Magiae simile dicimini asserere, quod passionem mortemque ejus specie tenus factam & fallaciter dicitis adumbratam, ut mori videretur, qui non moriebatur. Ex quo fit, ut ejus quoque resurrectionem umbraticam, imaginariam fallacemque dicatis: Neque enim ejus, qui non verè mortuus est, vera esse resurrectio potest: ita fit, ut & cicatrices discipulis dubitantibus falsas ostenderit, nec Thomas veritate confirmatus, sed fallacia deceptus clamaret, Dominus meus, & Deus meus, &c.. This, which is like Magick, ye are said to assert, That Christ's Passion and Death was only in appearance, and in a deceitful Shadow; so that he seemed to die, when he did not die. Whence it follows, that you must assert also his Resurrection to be in shew, imaginary, and fallacious. For he cannot be truly raised, who did not truly die: And if so, then he shewed false Scars to his doubting Disciples; neither did Thomas cry out, My Lord and my God, because he was confirmed in the Truth, but because he was deceived by a Cheat. 2ff7e9595c
