    Teens having (what they regarded as) private communications recorded and exposed to harm their academic/career prospects is a bigger issue than one teen being denied admission to Harvard. It's emblematic of a wider trend that is undoubtedly stifling, invasive, and privacy-killing

        I taught high school recently and one thing high school students had a fairly decent grasp of was the fact that communication online is hardly private.

        I graduated HS in 2008 and even then I was warned about my online presence being a possible mark against me and to be careful what I put online. This has been a long standing ideal that should have been challenged years ago if many of the people whining now actually cared.

        That's the problem, these things are way more partisan than they should be. People only care when it hurts their side of the aisle and then we defend it once it hurts the others.

        I don't really care how some elite institution makes its decisions on applicants, but the pathological focus on individual bigotry and indiscretions is a bunch of virtue signalling band aid to way bigger structural and societal issues and there's def a thought police vibe

        It’s not bigger or emblematic. Every kid knows if their racist anti-Semitic writings happen to receive “widespread national coverage” then they won’t get into Harvard. One kid needs to take the L and move on. It’s not going to spark a sudden wave of world-wide self-censoring.

        The kids “self-censoring” now seems to be Tracey’s biggest concern going by his podcast. But kids will mostly ignore this incident and other warnings like they always have.

        Right. Because businesses do this too. We seem to forget the foreboding stories from just a few years ago about employers delving into employees public Facebook posts. It's a complicated free speech issue. Rightists and IDWers are reducing it for a specific political narrative.

        How about not using that word? The coarsening of the culture where children think it's okay to behave this way is an indictment of their parents.
