(51). FREEDOM OF SPEECH Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights calls for the protection of free expression in all media including cyberspace.

There is also an aspect where you can forge (make up) data to fulfill the needs of a study or similar, thus you are pretending to do actual work but are using made up results to support a theory.

HARASSMENT Cyber harassment is typically defined as recurring, unwelcome and aggressive conduct by an individual or a group of people using the Internet or mobile technology aiming to terrify, bother, intimidate, threaten, stalk or harass someone else.
