First off I have to ask that you refrain from speaking to another site member and especially a staff member the way you have here. Please review our site terms and rules for the consequences.
Second, every few weeks, months someone begins to vex in S$@&;:/& expletives on this site about how everything is so fake. What they forget to consider before pulling the trigger on their typing fingers is that this is the internet and no one needs a valid ID card to get on any social networking site online. Hell identity fraud is big business on the internet and so millions of people fall victim to it every year unfortunately. We also live in the age of 'fake news', and disinformation campaigns perpetrated by those who decry it the loudest. Reminds me of the saying that goes something to the effect of "those who deny they commit a sin who are the most sinful."?
And how many people do you meet everyday can you say are real people and not pretending to be something they ar not? If you think that isn't so just ask one of your family or friends for the password to their email or facebook account. I doubt they would turn it over. And speaking about fake, this website, and facebook did you happen to see the headlines in the news just this past week on the fake accounts taken down on those sites. Here take a look for yourself and the fake account numbers on facebook and twitter. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, they make this website look like we the only honest place on the net.
Quote from the article:
"Let’s run through the math on this in more detail. Facebook’s new numbers added up to more than 2.8 billion fake accounts taken down in the 12 months that ended Sept. 30, or about 7.7 million a day."

Quote from the article:
"In September, Twitter disclosed it had suspended 770 accounts potentially based in Iran for violating its policies. Since then, the company has suspended 2,617 additional malicious accounts it believes had origins in Iran, which tweeted 24,000 times about the 2018 U.S. midterm elections."

Just something to ponder on but also you can improve your vetting process by asking the person your chatting with to voice and video verify and not just believe the pictures you see on a screen are the person behind the keyboard.
Counterpoint with reference material backing the argument?! Love it. Lol
