Reflection time! After having a look at my peers’ blogposts, I would like to reaffirm my position on having multiple identities online.

Indeed, social media is a public space where individuals could freely use it the way they want it, regardless of how many partial identities a person has, they all add up to a individual’s identity. It was surprised me after reading a few of my peers’ blog as most of us agree on having multiple online identities to cover and present ourselves differently between personal and professional life.
