I did a search for origin, but could not find anything. Found this very useful link de.wetena.com/bot/socialsearcher

SocialSearcher is a content scraper with unknown function, no information page about the crawler and no mention of the operator

Due to the obscure function of SocialSearcher, it can almost certainly be assumed that this scraper does not provide any compensation for the use of server resources.

SocialSearcher is blocked by default on our servers.

I would think these scrapers would be blocked by your whitelisting... block all server farms and allow only beneficial prejudice.
