What I mean is that someone's online self is one projection of the self, and someone's offline self is another projection of the self. Neither is the "true real self", as suggested by some of the people you quoted. Basically, some of the philosophers you quoted suggest a dystopian progress by which we're getting more and more fake by putting on more layers (in person -> phone -> TV -> social media). I don't think this has to be the interpretation.
