@mischi2000@social.inselleben.chat @Gargron@mastodon.social What exactly is a 'fake profile' ? When the internet was introduced to kids earlier on, it was specifically considered the most important rule that you should not divulge any real information and put anything like that on the internet and now we are going into the opposite direction ! And if somebody does harass someone at some social media network, they are responsible... even at this place some creep can creep in and try to doxxx or blackmail someone, i

Yeah, and the dotcom-crash was caused in large part by the inability for advertisers to target who was seeing the ads. So the web2.0 got advertisements tied to profiles that were linked if not to ID, then at least to a large dossier of likes, dislikes, and spending habits.

@harib_murshidi@mastodon.social There are all sorts of fake profiles, ranging from fake profiles to outright impersonations. All I can tell you is that it cost my parents tens of thousands of euros in court and legal fees to have a profile deleted on meta-platforms that impersonated me in the worst possible way. I was 13 years old at the time and suddenly exposed to things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I don't want to say any more about it now. @Gargron@mastodon.social
