digital deception

Digital deception involves misleading or manipulating online information or identities to deceive others. This can include spreading false information, creating fake profiles, or using technology to impersonate someone else. The goal is often to influence opinions, gain trust, or achieve certain outcomes through dishonesty. It erodes trust in digital interactions and can have serious consequences, such as misinformation spreading, fraud, or identity theft. Recognizing digital deception requires skepticism and verifying information from reliable sources, as deception can be sophisticated and difficult to detect.
