      After reading the store of him, I know the internet is so fake. There are so many ways people could manipulate the content in internet.

It means even if someone did impolite or criminal behavior, they would not be punished a lot. So, that makes bad people have low cost to do a crime. However, there would be more and more comprehensive law in the internet. Then, I think internet can be a real life.
