"How to spot QAnon online
QAnon actively evolves to hide in plain sight and spread its message, but there are still recognizable signs and slogans associate with the movement. Followers call themselves “anons,” “digital soldiers,” and the “Q Army,” and their motto is, “Where We Go One, We Go All,” often abbreviated as “WWG1WGA.” They also use phrases like “The Storm” or “the Great Awakening” to describe the spread of their ideas and Trump’s eventual victory over the “deep state.”
Then, of course, there’s the “Q” logo, which often features an American flag pattern. This shows up on flags, memes, profile photos, bumper stickers, fliers, tattoos—anywhere, really. These are obvious symbols of the movement, but there are more subtle cues to look out for as well. The group often hides behind hashtags and phrases related to child abuse and sex trafficking. The recent uproar from conservative groups over the Netflix movie Cuties is influenced in part by QAnon’s ideas. They’re also fond of circulating COVID-19 misinformation, like drinking bleach or using dangerous drugs as treatments.
If you notice someone sharing QAnon theories that are getting a bit too extremist for your tastes, feel free to report their post and their accounts. The process is the same for reporting other abusive or harmful content, and we’ve linked to each platform’s support page in case you need a helping hand."
