I personally think that people should have consequences for their actions if they impostor someone on a social networking site. Last semester I did an report of the effects that cyberbullying can cause on someone because a family member had first hand experience with being bullied online. Imposturing someone, when you are not that person is called proxy, and it can be the most hurtful of all bullying. What happens is someone finds out the victims passwords and tries to set up an account under that person's name. Once this is done then they try to get everyone against that person, making them feel everything from anger and vulnerability, much like the fake Twitter accounts. Even though some people may think that it is funny, some things that people can say can leave an emotional scar on the victim. Especially now with techolongly being the main source of communication between people, they must know what is out there.
