  2. The nature of the cyber danger is dangerous.

    I think that she succumbed so easily to the temptations that eventually led her to be a victim because he was saying nice stuff about her.

    It is easy to assume a different persona online because you can just put your name and profile picture as somebody else's name and profile picture.

  3. I think that it is talking to someone you do not know online

    I think that she trusted people too easily

    You can just change your name and others will think that you are someone else

  4. why is it so easy to assume a different persona online?
    - it is easy to lie about yourself as the person you are talking to online will probably never get to meet you. you can say whatever you want to say and can impersonate whoever you want as the person on the other side of the chat will never know what you are actually like. the other person cannot check to see if you are lying or telling the truth, so it is easy to say whatever you want to say without them knowing the truth.

  6. It's easy to assume a different persona online as we do not really see the person we are talking to so we cannot feel their emotions or regard that other people online are humans and have feelings too. Some people also have the mentality that they can say anything online and be a different person altogether.

  8. It is easy to impersonate or assume as someone else as it is not face-to-face, making the user able to hide behind the screen.

  9. Why is it so easy to assume a different persona online?

    We cannot be always sure whether the person we meet or talk to on social media platforms is speaking the truth or not. We cannot be sure about the person we classify as "friend" on the internet. There is always faking their personality and themselves on the internet.

  10. 3) It's easy to assume someone else's persona as you can just create someone else's profile with a fake name and picture and just do anything you would like and acting as this 'person'.

  11. It's easy to assume a different persona online as the interent holds many kinds of information, whether it is about humans, animals, items, building, etc, just a few seconds and the top hit will appear on the screen, so one can get information about someone easily and take up his role online.

  12. 3. You can change your profile picture or name to look or sound like someone else and that will make the people you talk to think you are that person.

  17. Why is it so easy to assume a persona online.
    This is as the person you are communicating with does not know who you are and what you are like as you can put a random profile picture and you can fake everything about you and you can lure predators to do bad things.

    It is so easy to assume a different persona because he person could have just take your friend's profile picture and name and can pretend to be your friend by sounding like him or her.
