“My friend and his buddies played with my name and character as if it were a puppet, making fun of me and humiliating me in front of others.” (Edwards, 2022, p. 1)
This is an example from the author of losing control of your digital identity. This can happen when someone impersonates you, or takes control of your account, which is somewhat easy to do on the internet if you are not careful. While in this case, this did not have any dire concequences, it is true that in certain circumstances, this could cost you jobs or relationships.
