Alternate Identity and Personal Space-Social Networking

Its funny because the whole point of social networking online is to promote oneself and get heard, but in the mix of everyone doing this its creating a huge network of exposed personal space. Saying something that will permanently be floating in cyberspace is an invasion of privacy that is enabled by those who's personal space is at risk. And anyone can form any type of identity online, how would you even know if it is them or not? I have heard cases of people creating fake facebooks and pretending to be someone else, which is so creepy because absolutely no one would be able to tell. Creating an alternate facebook would be completely feasible and by creating another account you are in essence creating another person.
