> On a higher level you can't delete things anyways, because as soon as you has shared them with a third party the control is out of your hands anyways Most things are readily forgotten once removed. No one cares enough about someone like me to keep a public archive of everything I've ever posted anywhere.

The archive exists, it's just not public.

  That's of little consequence if what I'm worried about is prospective employers googling my party pictures.

    Just because it's inconvenient enough for employers to check that they currently don't doesn't mean that it will stay that way. Digital archives generally get easier to access over time.

    Why would you post your party pictures under the same name you apply for a job, and to everyone on the internet? Maybe those two should be separate?
    - dividedbyzero 4y ago
      Probably should but in practice won't be for most people. The people who have party pictures that are wild enough to be a problem are probably even less likely to evaluate the probable threat landscape for the next decade or two before posting. It's nice to be able to easily fix things like that after the fact, at least in most cases.

        What I meant was that maybe we should discourage everyone to be “one person” online and rather encourage using multiple different identities and especially not posting party pics (or anything personal) under real names. Maybe we shouldn’t use real names at all on the web.

Yes, and the same thing applies for tombstones implemented by revoked decryption keys on an append-only log.
