10000 dinars and a sentence was what a guy in Morocco earned after he posed as King Mohammad IV's brother on facebook.
The judge seems to have been mesmerized by what the virtual world can offer... and so am I.
Human rights activists from Amnesty International are saying, the sentence is inappropriate. The false image is a joke and is played by many.
Looking at the other side,
Does this kind of deceit in revealing one's identity, cause any harm to the society in general? Is there anything wrong about the new fantastical world that provides room to become 'another' , with a click on the mouse? Can one really 'network' through a false identity?
When we observe the number of relationships that internet can foster.. it is truly amazing. But what happens when the person you know does not know exist in reality? I believe, such a situation is just more than a dissapointment. I think it is equivalent to a feeling you get sometimes when you feel, this world we live in, is not real.
The way it looks,this sentence may soften one's appetite to be a celebrity by adopting another's identity in Morocco, though the punishment is harsh and difficult to digest.
