parody accounts

Fake celebrity profiles

Parody accounts are social media profiles that imitate real people or organizations for comic effect.

They exaggerate characteristics, mock public statements, or imagine what the subject might say in absurd situations: The parody account of the senator posts fake policy announcements.

Platforms typically require clear labeling to distinguish parody from impersonation, though the line blurs when satire is mistaken for reality.
