Large companies have increasingly used deceptive tactics on the internet to target audiences and market products, crossing legal and ethical lines regarding privacy and integrity. Edelman created fake blogs for Walmart, Ruckus Network set up a false Facebook profile to collect student info, and Sony admitted making "flog" fake blogs, while AOL released user search data publicly. Similar privacy breaches occurred at Hershey, Mrs. Fields, Xanga, and Myspace. As companies dominate the web, they sometimes overlook laws, so stricter regulations are needed to protect internet users' well-being.
