If you reduce people to the worst thing they once wrote on the internet, that means you never allow them to grow. But by the same token, if you insulate them from consequences right after they wrote it, you also deny them the opportunity to grow.

I've written for years that we should be more forgiving of old social media posts. Otherwise, we freeze people in the worst versions of themselves. But when the ugly posts are from the last half-year, that's obviously not old news: that's evidence of a person who needs to change!
