Issues with Digital Identity
With the introduction of social media, there is increased exposure of everyone's digital identity. Often times individuals will overshare the information that they want people to see. This can lead to people's privacy being lost.

There is also an issue of individuals idealizing their selves. They may not be the people that they portray on the internet. They hide behind their Avatars and only show others online the things that make them look good.
