A college friend created a Tinder account using my photos as a prank. I had no idea until a girl messaged me on Instagram angrily asking why I had ghosted her.
After investigating, I discovered the fake profile. My friend thought it was hilarious.
I forced him to delete it and apologise, but the friendship never felt the same. Using someone's identity for entertainment can create real emotional damage for strangers who believe they are talking to a genuine person.
