“Yeah, wasn’t he involved in educational technology? Blogged a lot?” My recent stream of facebook catfishing rants have had a huge negligible less than zero effect.

#HEYFACEBOOK Why Won’t You Talk About Catfishing?
It’s just another night, and just another email from someone who did a reverse image search on a man she was being courted by online only to discover all his photos belong to a guy named Alan Levine. These victims emphasize their shame at being fooled and seem focused on feeling bad for me as […]
