My profile is indeed fake.

From 90 degrees I am essentially invisible, but if I told you how we beings live in your 3 dimensional space when we were born in 4 dimensional space, then I'd have to leave as I would have spoiled the mission.

Cases would also follow if posts were indecent, grossly offensive [b]or so false they caused distress and anxiety[/b].

Watch out Orson Wells, with your fake reports of Martians, we're coming for you....

I am real and have the scars to prove it.

My forum names was given to me halfway down a trail in Wales before calling an ambulance.

I have been seen in real life by a number of other forum dwellers.

None of this stops me trolling occasionally when I get called bored or the forum seems quiet but I troll under this name.

The Crown Prosecution Service says adults should be charged if they use fake social media IDs to harass others.
BBC
I would imagine the relevant word in this sentence is not 'fake', it's 'harass'. Which is already illegal. So a bit non-newsy really.

Thats still no excuse for stealing all those picnic baskets.

I think we're also confusing 'anonymous' with 'fake'. A fake profile is where you try to pass a profile off as someone else's - make it identifiably someones profile, not make a profile unidentified.

I have a face book profile under the name Danielle Minogue (long story)

I am not the less talented sister of the well known diminutive antipodean songstress.

Please can someone smuggle me a phone in when I get banged up?

You probably ought to read the rest of the article:

[i]However, the guidance also sets out less serious situations where prosecutions should be considered under a fourth category: where a false identity is used to post upsetting messages, including false information that could cause anxiety.
Prosecutors say, particularly in this category, a balance must be struck between a decision to charge someone and the need to defend freedom of speech, - including "banter" and the "posting of unpopular opinions".[/i]

(and mogrim's not my real name! 😯 )

Like when you eventually realise that the "lady" you've been flirting with online turns out to be wielding a full set beneath "her" virtual skirt?
