The aim of the research is to outline main peculiarities of the manipulation in the Internet communities. The research encompasses online communication platforms which support an interactive text communication. In the paper feasibility of exploiting traditional schemes of protection from manipulation in the virtual space is questioned, differences of manipulation in real life and in the Internet communities are made obvious.
