I mean this is solid logic if you're older and experienced the advent of the internet. But keep in mind that we have an entire generation of people coming up that are growing up during the age of the internet. Kids aren't going to be concerned about using the internet as themselves and obviously they'll do or say stupid things as they age. So while you may become more concerned about privacy, everything you did as a kid is on the internet. Forever.

This is indeed tragic. For decades, I've been warning people to compartmentalize everything. With as much overkill as they can manage. But my reach is miniscule, and most people find it too inconvenient. And it does mess up ones life. I'd love to share with family and meatspace friends about my online life. But I don't. Not even with my wife. So I just play dumb. At my age, it's plausible. But for young people, it would be hard.
