I agree that on social media someone is more likely to promote their identity as the best possible version of themselves, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people delete information, such as comments or pictures, which do not show a specific vision or characteristic of themselves. Sometimes online identities are an exaggeration of their real self where it does not represent themselves as Greenfield referred to two separate selves: “front stage” self and “backstage” self.
