Become a Social Media Troll!

Should we believe anything is social media? I keep hearing about social media trolls that post comments that are false and misleading. I wondered how easy it is to create a fake persona and use it to post on social media? I did some research to see how easy it is to become an online person. All it takes is an email account. There are several free email providers and some that will not share your email information and encrypt your email. All it takes to obtain an email account is your name and date of birth. Use a fake name and a false date of birth and you now have an email account. To access social media like Twitter, all that is needed is an email account. Create an account in your fake name and give them the new persona’s email account. They send you an email with a code to verify that you have that email account. Put the code into Twitter, and you now have a Twitter account in your new persona’s name. You are now free to Tweet to your heart’s content about anything you want and it cannot be traced back to you. This is especially true if you did all of this from a public network, like Starbucks, or Walmart, or McDonald’s. Enjoy your life as a social media troll!
