One way that people can form their identity is through the use of social media. People can construct and show their identity through various forms of social media. The big 3 social media websites; Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, show some great examples of identity construction on social media websites. Social media websites are different from other chat rooms and forums on the internet in that social media websites are generally a form of nonymous communication. This means that people know who the other person on the internet is in real life. An example of this is how you may know your friends on Facebook in the real world.
