| May 6, 2016 at 12:36 | comment | added | Dan Bron | I'd say if a "reasonable user" (to borrow a term from US legalese) could be reasonably misled that the profile represents, or speaks for, someone it does not, then action should be taken. What the specific standards for "misleading", and what the sociocultural actions to be taken in a given context, are, I'll leave to my better-equipped colleagues. | |
