"Web Means the End of Forgiving"

What I think about the article that Jeffrey Rosen wrote is that I agree with him. The internet was a safe haven but now has turned into something that people fear to post things or being tagged in photos. I do think that it violates our first amendment. I don’t think that companies would have that much power to see what our personal lives are. I think that everybody does things that might now be viewed as smart but we are only human. I believe that sometimes it is okay to go drink and go out with friends to have a fun time. If we didn’t do this we would be more stressed and be just mindless zombies just going through every day. Companies should want us to have fun and not worry what we do with our free time. I think that we would be more productive and as long as we are professional at work, why should companies care.  There were some great ideas in that article like ReputationDefender or the idea that data has an expiration date. The expiration data, I think, is an amazing idea. I think teenagers and young adults don’t realize how much they can hurt their reputations. I don’t think that we should be reprimanded for the way that almost every teenager and young adult act. I don’t think that companies can make an assumption how we act in our private lives and how we act in our personal lives. The expiration date thing is at least a step forward. Teenagers and young adults don’t really want to spend all their time doing researches on themselves trying to find and delete embarrassing photos or comments on themselves. Also they are not trained to do background researches but companies hire certain people like that. That Is what I think about this article.
