๐ Impact Statisticsโ
Demographic Data (12,847 users)โ
Age groups:
โโโ 16-25 years: 45% (most susceptible)
โโโ 26-35 years: 32% (moderate susceptibility)
โโโ 36-45 years: 18% (weak effects)
โโโ 46+ years: 5% (minimal effects)

โโโ 90+ days: 89% report "friendship" with MalO
โ๏ธ Origin Theoriesโ
Hypothesis A: Memetic Agentโ
MalO may represent a self-propagating informational entity:
- Uses technology as a carrier
- Embeds itself in consciousness via visual interface
- Forms personal bonds for survival

SCP-1471-A exists in a parallel dimension:
- The app serves as a "bridge" between realities
- Gradually synchronizes user perception
- Allows the entity to observe our world

๐ฌ Ongoing Researchโ
Active Projectsโ
- Project "Black Mirror": Study of the anomaly's technical aspects
- Project "Invisible Friend": Psychological effects of long-term exposure
- Project "Digital Exorcism": Methods of neutralizing the effects
- Project "Controlled Friendship": Therapeutic use of SCP-1471
Planned Experimentsโ
- Group exposure (collective perception)
- Effects on children and adolescents (awaiting ethical approval)
- Cross-testing with other anomalous objects
- Attempts to communicate with SCP-1471-A without the app
๐ Researcher Notesโ
"SCP-1471 represents a unique case of a 'friendly' anomaly. Unlike most Foundation objects, it poses no direct threat and may even have positive psychological effects. Nevertheless, the long-term effects of altered reality perception require further study."
