This is a summary of the text:
The text is about how people lie in different situations and contexts, and how the internet can reveal some of the truths that people hide or deny. The text explores the reasons, consequences, and ethics of lying, and contrasts it with falsehood, fiction, and veracity. The text also gives examples of how lies affect various fields such as medicine, sociology, psychology, and justice. The text ends with a poetic quote that compares life and death to a lie and a truth.
This is a long and complex text, but I will try to extract the key facts out of it. Here are some possible facts:
1. People lie for various reasons, such as avoiding judgment, protecting their ego, creating a clean image, or making reality more interesting.
2. Companies use big data to analyze people's online behavior and preferences, which can reveal more about them than what they say.
3. Surveys are often unreliable because people tend to give socially acceptable answers or lie to themselves.
4. Lies can be ethical or unethical depending on the context and the interpretation of the parties involved.
5. Fiction is not considered a lie because both parties know that it is not true, but a form of entertainment or art.
6. Being truthful is not the same as being veracious, because someone can be truthful but still lie if they have bad information but good intentions.
