While I do understand your premise that it is a stretch to charge this woman with the laws used to indict her, I am not understanding of your conviction to protecting people’s ability to pass themselves off as someone they’re not. Perhaps the two biggest problems with the Internet are the fraud perpetrated by people acting under false identities, and the anonymity of phony little handles that make it “okay” for people to slander and libel others without responsibility or recourse all over message boards, etc.
The Constitution protects our rights to freedom of speech from action by the government, however, it doesn’t protect a right to “con” others with a false identity. If, as you say, you don’t want your employer or employees to know what you’re saying, perhaps you shouldn’t say those things. Or, more importantly, if people were more open about truths instead of “publicly” agreeing with politically correct drivel before going online to “privately” to anonymously post their “true” feelings society would be in a far better place.
