1. tentacle
A covert pseudo, sense 1. An artificial
identity created in cyberspace for nefarious and deceptive purposes. The
implication is that a single person may have multiple tentacles. This term
was originally floated in some paranoid ravings on the cypherpunks list
(see cypherpunk), and adopted in a spirit of irony
by other, saner members. It has since shown up, used seriously, in the
documentation for some remailer software, and is now (1994) widely
recognized on the net. Compare astroturfing,
sock puppet.
