Fake Accounts

These are profiles created on social media platforms that do not represent real individuals. They are often created with the intention to deceive, impersonate, or hide the true identity of the account holder. Fake accounts can be used for various purposes such as spreading misinformation, conducting fraudulent activities, or trolling other users. They are usually identified by suspicious behavior patterns, lack of personal information, minimal user interactions, and rapid-fire posting of content.
