, and unfortunately trusting everybody online is naïve to a fault. The anonymity afforded by the

has made it all too easy for anybody to create a fictitious identity, one might argue that there are checks and balances but, these are far from being foolproof. Using image editing software a person with basic computer skills can forge almost any document.

is not universal. I

entirely disagree with the statement.
