 Someone's pretending to be you...

What do you do?

Looking for a friendly faces? Emailing everyone you know explaining and apologizing?

What if your fake FB account just for a fun of it got changed your mariatal status to “single”… and you have a jealous and short tempered wife?
What would be your chances to get out of this mess unhurt? Slim to none?

Social Media sites can be and sadly already had become a deadly place.
Especially to teenagers, those who are emotionally vulnerable and lonely people...

So what do you think - is pretending to be someone else on FB, LJ, Bebo, MS etc a crime?

If Facebook properly policed the sight and upheld their ToS there wouldnt need to be a law.

Not a police officer. Depending on the depths of what their impersonation actions led to Im sure it would be illegal.
