When families discover teen social media deception

My teenage son created fake social media accounts to follow his friends without them knowing and now that we've discovered it we don't know whether to make him tell them or handle it privately as a family. We're worried about embarrassing him but also about teaching him that digital deception is okay if you don't get caught.
