Maybe when nearly everyone's dirt is leaked and public then no one will actually be dirty.

- thomassmith65 4y agoUnfortunately, that almost certainly is not how it will work. If everyone's dirt is public, indeed that may lessen the stigma of common mistakes: an embarrassing slip of the tongue, tripping over one's shoe laces, etc. But different people have very different liabilities. Alice's 2009 misdiagnosis of AIDS does not cancel out Bob's 2015 false accusation of murder. Alice will still have trouble on dating apps (because strangers suspect she has AIDS). Bob will still have trouble finding employment (because strangers suspect he is a killer). The closest to 'no one actually being dirty' it could be is if we just stop caring when tech unfairly destroys a person's life.
