Hows this for a crazy-brilliant #facebook scam slash awesome social media experiment? A 25yo from Amsterdam faked a one-month trip to SEA by posting photoshopped images and status updates on facebook from her flat after having her parents drop her off at the airport. I did this to show people that we filter and manipulate what we show on social media, she said. Thereby we create an online ideal world which reality can no longer meet. My goal was to prove how common and easy it is to distort reality.” She then filmed her friends and familys reactions when she fessed up at the end of the month. Absolutely brilliant. And a little bit scary. news.au/technology/online/zilla-van-den-born-faked-asia-trip-on-facebook-while-still-in-her-amsterdam-flat/story-fnjwnhzf-1227056360228
