Should People Be Allowed to Obscure Their Identities Online?

            Lets face it everyone lies at least a little bit about themselves when they are on the internet, but the question is should false information about ones self be allowed to be posted. I have mixed ideas about the topic. One side of my opinion is that it is morally wrong to make someone believe you are something you are not. On the other hand we live in a free country and we should be able to have the right to post whatever we feel like online. For the people that are members on dating sites I think it would be most important to be truthful put your actual information or else the woman you are matched up will be surprised when she is expecting a six foot three inch muscular guy hunk and actually finds a five foot six balding man in his mothers basement or a man finds out the supermodel he has been talking to for the past month actually is in her mid to late fifties and lives with her thirty-six beloved cats. False information on the Internet in not cool but I am not sure how keeping false information from being posted would be enforced or even if it could be regulated.
