      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)_/¯

      Thus, there is no single standard/answer. My only universal is to leave minors out of it—don't drag kids before a national audience for social media. They've a long path to their adult selves. Don't make a 10th grade awful tweet the first Google hit for their name. Let them grow.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted louis renault

          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 …

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Julia Carrie Wong

          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 …

          We all know how twitter works. You don’t build a brand as a freelancer or law student by tweeting your links and keeping it safe. You do it by being provocative and funny and pushing boundaries. And the gatekeepers ate it up. Usually for $150 an article.

          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.

          10th grade is really too early a cutoff. Now I'm going back to being very very grateful social media didn't exist when I was young and an idiot.

          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?
