Parents, students and teachers were outraged by the sugarcoated and outright false history of slavery being shared in classrooms across Texas. This was one incident of false information making its way into schools, but it was far from the first or last.

For further details on the unraveling of the socks Wohl made, check out Aric Toler’s threat on Twitter @arictoler from Bellingcat. Now, without further ado, let’s get started on constructing a sock puppet for OSINT investigations. To get started, I want to properly define what a sock puppet is and what it is not.
