A procurement analyst uses their real face as the sock-puppet avatar so the account looks trustworthy. What should the analyst do instead?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Putting a real face on the sock puppet is handing the internet a name-that-employee puzzle. Reverse image search does the rest. Research personas do not get staff headshots, badge photos, or team pictures.
Full Explanation
Real photographs of staff must not back a research persona. Face images are biometric identifiers that reverse-image search and social graphs can pivot to the analyst's true identity. Trustworthiness of a sock puppet for PORP purposes comes from mundane, non-identifying presentation while viewing public sources—not from looking like a city employee. Badge photos, geotagged city-hall avatars, and team pictures worsen the exposure.
