Bots, troll farms and deepfakes in elections, sentence 1

Picture a school vote where one kid wears ten different hats and votes ten times: it looks like a crowd, but it is one person with many masks, and that is what a swarm of fake accounts does online.

Who acts: you, one kid, kid, that, swarm · What happens: picture, wear, vote, look, be, do · To what, where: school vote, ten different hats, one person
