And I want to talk through some examples today of things that people have done that I think are really fascinating using flexible identity and anonymity on the web and blurring the lines between fact and fiction. 我今天想谈一些 人们在网上所做的事情, 我认为那实在是够吸引人的, 人们在网络上运用灵活的身份或匿名 使事实与虚构之间的界限逐渐模糊。

Some of them were familiar stories. 有一些是我们熟悉的故事。
