Summary: What this article was basically stating was that people should lie online so their identity could be protected. Information such as your name and date birth should be fake when you are using a social networking site. Putting real information about you can be later used against you. However, this doesn't apply to government websites. You should always be honest about your self when you are using a government website. There was a controversy that rose on this topic. Facebook has a strict rule against using false identity's.


Reaction: Well, we are actually learned about this topic in one of my classes. My opinion on this topic is that you should be real online about who you are. However, I also agree that you should be careful what information you put online. In other words, don't be too real online. Private information such as your address, bank number, or your full name should be kept private.


 World Impact: This article should be read by everybody around the world. Keeping yourself safe online is really important. Situations like identity theft can happen anywhere. People can now get a wake up call. You never know who could see and read your information. There are actual stalkers out there. People need to understand that you need to understand that what you do online will catch up to you somehow.
