4 But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends
5 It depends.
6 If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.

Nobody knows who you are.
You can easily hide your real personal information behind the screen.
