Accuracy Of Data and Information on Facebook

The information and materials on Facebook, including personal information, images etc are submitted by the individual themselves. The question of is it accurate is unknown.

Eg: the simplest form of inaccurate data is having a friend from school publicize they are a 71 year old woman looking for a man. The inaccuracy of their age is obvious because you personally know them, but the main concern is when you accept someone you don’t know, and their information is inaccurate which falsify who they really are.

Below is a link to an experiment created by an individual to prove how easily someone can falsify who they are.
