The idea of a public "record" that you're "on" or "off" and "newspapers of record" is obsolete. Instead, you're either in or out of context.

There *is* a place for a notion of a "record": a courtroom. Where things are arranged to be highly context free and impersonal for a reason

The idea of a "court of public opinion" used to be figurative. Now it's kinda a literal thing that exists, and it is a weird beast.

You are either on public record as a taxpayer or dead and odd record, the only two bottom line contexts that matter
