 Internet
users can change their identities online in many different ways. These cases
are rampant normally in online communities. Some examples would include:1. Changing of race Users tend to change their race once they are online either for deception purposes, or for protection purposes against strangers online. 2. Changing of gender Once in a virtual environment, users tend to change their gender so that others will not be aware of their real identities online. 3. Changing of social classes Most users change their social classes online for the same reason. Besides that, they can also change their age. 4. Having multiple accounts Some users can also acquire multiple accounts for decption purposes online. 5. Changing of online nicknames frequently Users can change their nicknames also. These nicknames can appear normal or fanciful. 6. Changing of physical locations (IPs) Users can even change their physical locations online, for eg; from Singapore to Australia. |
