In summary, a person's online persona, including their digital footprint and online activities, can be read by others. This can be done through accessing public information on social media platforms, using search engines, or data mining techniques. While it is generally not illegal to read someone's online persona without their consent, it is important to respect their privacy and personal information. Reading someone's online persona without their consent can potentially lead to cyberstalking or cyberbullying, and it is important to remember that online information may not be a complete or accurate representation of a person. To protect their online persona, one can regularly review privacy settings, be cautious about sharing personal information, and use strong and unique passwords for online accounts.
