Abstract
This paper describes the ways in which Facebook users manage their
online identities through untagging and deleting photos to make sure images are
interpreted in a desirable way. Using data collected from an online survey and
thirty in-depth interviews with American adult Facebook users, the authors argue
that identity management can best be understood as the combination of
constructive and destructive practices through which users control not only their
self-presentation (projection), but also the statements others make about them
(suppression).
