Identity theft

This Guardian piece is mildly interesting: “White supremacists stole my identity to spew hatred on the Times of Israel: one day I awoke to a barrage of posts from strangers accusing me of racism for an article I didn’t write. Then I learned how to use social media to my advantage” “The Times of Israel” itself expresses a kind of identity theft: a webzine with a pompous sounding title and little substance, which no one in Israel ever heard of. Though its existence preceded Haaretz’s paywall, I’d be surprised if that hasn’t helped it to flourish.
