"Social networking sites make people be more truthful about their lives."

hi,

As far as I know, we have the following patterns with the verb "make":

Make somebody do something(make somebody feel happy)

Make somebody/something + adj (make somebody happy)

Now, I can't figure it out why the following sentences is correct as well?
"Social networking sites make people be more truthful about their lives."
