Old Miraheze Wiki Pages:IDOE FakeIdentity Intro

Background of Using Fake Identity

Debates on the usage of fake identities in various fields form to become a common topic of the modern society. Starting from late 2021, Li Ao has leveraged the use of fake identities to satisfy the needs of online protection. Upholding the ethics principles lays down to be Li Ao's core principles, and he acknowledges that such use of fake identities together with information technology tools to maintain certain degree of anonymous should be regulated to ensure common interests are not compromised because of his such exercises.

This phrase of IDOE article also covers the use of fake electronic device identities, including fake IMEI of mobile devices and proxy/VPN IP addresses for disguising. IP addresses from reputable proxy/VPN providers aren't included.

Under certain circumstances when the use of fake identity no longer remains to be the only way Li Ao can choose to protect his interests against identity attacks such as impersonation, unconditional access of privacy-related information and other kinds of cyber crimes, Li Ao will actively implement the use of other measures to satisfy such the needs.

Scope of Fake Identity Usage

Currently, scope of Li Ao's use of fake identity including, but not limited to, the following:

-- to ensure the excessive control of state power will not affect the privacy of his online privacy;

-- to ensure his online activity will not contribute to any unethical commercial or research purposes;

-- to ensure his fundamental human rights of privacy is not violated under course of unnecessary information use, and

-- to promote ethical use of fake identity under situations where such use is necessary and important.

Under critical situations where the severity creates grounds of reasonable use of fake identity and such use of fake identity will significantly degrade the severity, Li Ao may eliminate such use for a certain period of time. Upon the severity has degraded to a certain degree where maintaining such use is no longer necessary, continued use must be terminated unless another reasonable use lingers.
