A parody account is a fan or commentary account on Twitter where individuals can share different ideas about a specific issue, person or company.
The important thing is that you provide content that is interesting but does not violate the terms and conditions of the website.
There are rules to follow since you will be talking about real events, people or companies. The approach requires you to only refer to a particular subject and not to impersonate.
Here are five rules to keep you relevant (and safe) when making parody accounts.
Place the description on the bio and do not use the actual name of the person or group on its own to prevent confusion. Role-playing accounts are tolerated by Twitter as long as these comply with the terms and conditions of the website.
However, you should be careful when the parody account is reported on Twitter. The website will review the content and posts and decide whether to put the account down. Some individuals have been suspended because of complaints and reports by official users.
Generally, the parody account should be made for the sake of humor or to show support. It shouldn?t be used as a means of advertising or making money. Observe other fan or parody accounts then use the same approaches that make the successful ones interesting.
1. Make people know it?s a parody account.
The first thing you have to do is let others on Twitter know that the account is only a parody or a fan account. Never mislead others into thinking that it is the official Twitter page of the person or group. The username must include descriptions that will instantly let others know that it?s only a fan account.
