> I suspect you’ll be downvoted, but I agree. People take the internet waaaaaaay too seriously now. Not downplaying their trauma. Crazy stuff happens online, but everyone’s attention span lasts for 30 seconds, so just move on, get some therapy, and try to ‘let it be’. I suspect stories like this will facilitate additional mass-censorship via complaints similar to “think of the children!!”, but framed towards adults who don’t understand how web archival works.
This will stop being a big deal as the boomers die out and GenX gets into a nursing home age. My wife is a millennial. She grew up with the internet and cameras -- the number of photos that would make Gen X ers blush that she has is insane and that's nothing compared to what an average gen Z has.
