Impersonating someone in order to defraud is a crime. Even if supposed to be funny or revelatory, you can be jailed. Look at the David Daleiden case in California
Who's being defrauded? How are the parody accounts taking receipt of anything that is intended for the people they are parodying? And David Daleiden did a whole lot more than just make a parody Twitter account[1]
Daleiden was charged with impersonating someone. Not on twitter. In real life. Twitter is real life too, last I checked. It's still subject to the law.
