This #FathersDay2023 tweet from @PaulFox50854324 has gone somewhat viral, but both @PaulFox50854324's profile image and the alleged image of the neighbor's son are GAN-generated faces.

Tips on recognizing GAN-generated faces here:
Today's #FathersDay2023 tweet is not the first time @PaulFox50854324 engaged in image shenanigans.

This glass of grape Kool-Aid that @PaulFox50854324's son supposedly made in 2021 somehow traveled back in time to 2019 and became alcoholic kombucha. Image
Speaking of Father's Day, @PaulFox50854324's son Evan is actually a stolen photo from a Kansas City Star article about two children that aren't named Evan.

If you've made it this far, you'll be utterly unsurprised to learn that the walled garden that @PaulFox50854324's architect friend designed for him is in fact a stock photo. Image
Does @PaulFox50854324 own a treadmill? Maybe, but not this one - it's yet another plagiarized photo. Image
In a totally unsurprising development, @PaulFox50854324's neighbor's dog Hans is yet another stock photo. Image

Meet @thisisorange, a Twitter account created in February 2022 with a gold "verified organization" badge, thousands of batch-created fake followers, and a couple other interesting traits.

Verified organizations on Twitter can verify affiliated accounts (employees, teams, brand names, etc), which receive blue checkmarks as well as an organization badge (help.twitter.com/en/using-twitt…). The @thisisorange account has thousands of affiliates, mostly cryptocurrency accounts.
How did this come about? The website linked on @thisisorange's profile (orange dot associates) apparently allows one to become an affiliate simply by providing a Twitter account and a cryptocurrency wallet. screenshot of orange . asso...

If your interests include OnlyFans, pro-China propaganda, and social media accounts with artificially generated faces, then this is the botnet for you. (There's also cryptocurrency spam involved because of course there is.) #FridayShenaniGANs

It's a Saturday in May, and a reply spam network is busy spamming people's replies with extremely similar tweets encouraging them to log into an obscure website with supplied login credentials. (The login info is the same in every reply.)

The website promoted by the spam accounts (uu55111 dot com) describes itself as a "financial income platform" and claims to offer various crypto-related financial services. Needless to say, obscure financial websites promoted by spam networks should be approached with distrust. screenshot of uu55111 dot com
The reply spam network promoting this website consists of (at least) 9688 accounts created in March/April 2023. All have usernames ending in random digits and all have thus far tweeted exclusively via the Twitter Web App. table of 25 example account...histogram of account creati...hourly tweet volume by sour...

It's a great day to look at a network of mutually interacting Twitter accounts that use TweetDeck to amplify one another's content, most (but not all) of which is Florida-related. #FloridaSpam

This network consists of seven accounts with similar tweet schedules and a focus on Florida that tweet the vast majority of their tweets via TweetDeck: @4_sarasota, @CalendarMad, @CapitalTales, @FreshStarSrq, @PublicGood2050, @TwartVader, and @lakesarasota. table of the seven accounts...tweet schedule plots for ea...weekly tweet volume by sour...
Much of the network's content consists of brief tweetstorms where several of the accounts in the network tweet or retweet the same thing a few seconds or minutes apart. Overall, approximately 70% of the network's tweets/retweets were duplicated by at least 3 of the 7 accounts. table of tweets showing mul...weekly tweet volume by degr...

Popular chatbot ChatGPT will sometimes return error messages when asked to produce offensive content. If you're a spam network operator who uses ChatGPT to generate spam and you're not paying attention, these messages will show up in the spam you generate.

This spam network consists of (at least) 59645 Twitter accounts, mostly created between 2010 and 2016. All of their recent tweets were sent via the Twitter Web App. Some accounts have old unrelated tweets followed by a multi-year gap, which suggests they were hijacked/purchased. histogram of account creati...table of 30 example account...hourly tweet volume by sour...monthly tweet volume by sou...

If you're someone with integrity at @thedailybeast, this is a good time to give the public a look at what's going on behind the scenes and why an article containing demonstrable falsehoods and harassment from a known cyberstalker is still on your website.
Given the amount of time that has passed, the degree of pushback, and the repeated debunking of the article's primary source and elements, there is no scenario in which this is innocent. Someone at The Daily Beast is 100% aware the article is false and is keeping it up anyway.
This isn't going away, and the damage to the reputations of The Daily Beast and everyone associated with it grows harder to reverse with each passing moment. In life, there are bells you don't unring, and platforming an abusive cyberstalker is one of them.
