Hot take: the week my coworker got dragged for a 9 year old tweet should scare anyone who posts online
Maya lost her job at a Denver nonprofit over a dumb joke from 2015, and watching 3 reporters call her phone in 48 hours taught me that nobody's old posts are safe, so what's your move when they dig up yours?

Remember when we all thought deleting stuff was enough? I had a friend who scrubbed her whole Facebook back in 2018 before a job interview and still got asked about a blog comment she left on some random site in high school. The stuff you forget about is exactly the stuff that comes back, because you can't delete what you don't remember posting. Now I just assume anything with my name on it is permanent, so I keep my opinons boring and my jokes about the weather. Honestly the scary part isn't the bad tweets, it's that everyone has a thousand normal ones that could get twisted by the wrong person on the wrong day.
