Yes, people's old tweets can be revealing and worth probing. Yes, they can also easily be misinterpreted and taken out-of-context—and weaponized by bad-faith actors. Also, yes people grow and change and we should welcome this. No, you cannot avoid judgment in all this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah, my position is not that one should make millions of $$$ as the CEO of a mass surveillance company in an industry that violates reasonable boundaries between private and public, and that people should resort to changing their name to escape all this.https://twitter.com/spiritofrenault/status/1025403483724206088 …

So neither me nor the author of the thread is saying this applies to Jeong *at all* but.. this is broadly true. Entry-level media media encourages and buys the outrageous, the confessional and the hate-click gathering piece! It's the new "internship."https://twitter.com/juliacarriew/status/1025194895416283136 …

My 2¢ to emerging writers: don't write that confessional first-person or controversial piece for that edgy site for peanuts! They'll take the hate/outrage clicks & leave you high and dry. If you've something that'll expose you to the storm, wait and write it when you are strong.

OTOH there's an awful lot of RU bots hiding behind clever and not-so clever fake names.

I suggested this in a post to Susan_Hennessey this AM- Allow mass previous-tweet deletion upon your 25th birthday. After that you're on your own to hunt down your InfoWars retweets one-by-one. Maybe a racist drunken Granda exception too? Everything tweeted after 80 auto-deletes?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
