Well, there is private and public then there is personal and professional. It's like a matrix. Things you do publicly have long had the ability to affect your personal and professional life. Public just now has the ability to go global and not be forgotten which is something new.
If you post it on Twitter for everyone to see it's not your private life. It's public.
This is now paired with a change in attitude. There used to be a tone of forgiveness and to help people. Now when people screw up there are groups looking to destroy them. And, the definitions of what's wrong or a screw up are changing among different groups which complicates things.

- ghaff 7y agoIt would be interesting to look back at how this is playing out from the vantage of 10 or 15 years. I could see an attitude like: - Sure, people do dumb things on social media especially when they're in college etc. No one cares. I could also see: - Those fools. Who is so stupid as to associate their real identity with social media accounts? (Of course, since you can't keep other people from posting, it's a little hard to see this happening.)
