In 7 days (July 18), my book "QAnon: From Conspiracy Theory to New Religious Movement" is going to be published. It's grounded in 5 years of digital ethnographic work in QAnon milieus. I never thought my PhD research would be relevant 8 years after QAnon emerged.

There is a lack of understanding about this space and it behooves those working in it to understand it better. the threat landscape has shifted and so much we shift along with it, adapt, learn about it and then report about it.

It is important to remember these kind of attackers put on a performance, there is a script they follow and part of that script is trolling journalists or leaving ironic items in the hope someone in the media will bring on the Streisand effect to further spread their attack and be immortalized.

with the transcription now done, it is time to read the writings and the footprint of this attacker. T
here is a lot to cover and I will have something on this incident next week. The case is more complex than what we can see on the surface, there are traps they want you to fall for.

I had a long conversation with journalist Paula Ferreira about the exploitation and victimization of minors in digital environments.
I recommend this reading for all parents and caregivers, and to always pay close attention to the signs.
Do your part, because there is no silver bullet.
