Social media make us more honest.
Do you think you are more honest when you write online or on
paper?
Have you ever post a comment under someone else’s or false
ID, for your own or someone else’s benefit? For example, a writer could post a
positive review for his/her own work, so could a singer for his/her song. It
doesn’t sound so surprising to learn about such fake online reviews because they
can be done so easily without feeling as guilty as falsifying in person. But
when you learn that such falsification is practiced by a government agency to
control media and public opinion in a large scale, you may feel a little surprised
or even scared.
Enjoy reading and learning what “butler lies” and “sock
puppets” are and how they are used online.
