A sock puppet account, in the context of online communities, refers to a deceptive practice where an individual creates multiple user profiles or identities on the same platform. This is often done to manipulate perceptions of popularity, credibility, or relevance. Notable historical figures like Walt Whitman, Anthony Burgess, and Benjamin Franklin have been known to use similar tactics before the advent of the internet^[3]. Sock puppetry can be used for various purposes, such as circumventing bans, manipulating online polls, stealth marketing, and spreading propaganda. It’s a practice that has legal implications and has been used in various sectors including politics, media, and redes sociais^[1]. The identification of sock puppet accounts often involves technical methods, such as Endereço IP^[2] comparison and writing style analysis. It’s a complex issue that intertwines with other online threats, such as catfishing, phishing, and cyber attacks.

Os meios de comunicação social são um termo abrangente que engloba uma variedade de ferramentas e plataformas digitais que facilitam a partilha de informações e a criação de comunidades virtuais.

2. ↑ Endereço IP ( IP address ) An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to a network, enabling data to be sent and received accurately. It functions like a street address for the internet, marking the specific location of a device within a network. There are two versions of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4, the older version, has 32-bit addresses, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, offering a significantly larger number of possible addresses. IP addresses can be public or private, with private ones used within a local network and public ones used on the internet. Other key aspects include subnetting for routing efficiency, autoconfiguration for dynamic assignment, and potential conflicts from multiple assignment methods. IP addresses also play a significant role in routing and geolocation, determining the geographic position of devices. There are legal and regulatory aspects to consider, due to privacy concerns, and they are crucial in network configuration and troubleshooting.
