Abstract
The culture of the first Internet, based on cooperation and the privacy of its users, has now been replaced by a system run by large corporations who own the social networks in which we interact with others, project ourselves and share details regarding our personal identity. Throughout this period, from time to time, various examples of characters who have operated on the Internet under a fictitious identity have emerged. They affect areas such as the digital economy, privacy policies or the accumulation of reputational capital. In this article we will review some case studies in this regard, analysing their contributions and questions in relation to the social, cultural and economic dynamics concerning the use of the Internet and connectivity in contemporary society.
