Online Community



1. What is the issue with identity on the Internet? 
When you access Internet pages and you communicate with someone you don't really know, you cant know for sure who he really is. Many cases of Pedophile are because of the Internet, people access pages were they lie about their age, they have a fake identity and no one knows.
 2. Can you be anyone you want on the Internet? 
Yes, in social networks or communities you just Sign Up with a name and age, there is no way of knowing the truth, although some pages like YouTube now ask for a phone number so they can send a verification code stopping the multiple accounts for each people.
3. Can you be identified by your use of language?
When you talk, depending from where you are people will know, if you are from Latin America and speak English they will probably know, or the Russian English accent. The thing is that when you are writing, there is no way to identify from where is the person you are talking to.
