In general, I think #socnet posts should be ephemeral. I’d even prefer that most posts auto-delete after a certain time period. Yes, there are always people who may save the content (so relying on deletion for after-the-fact privacy is not a good idea, and you should still be watching what you reveal in your postings), but expiration and deletion should be the general rule.

Would you really want someone to dig up something you posted in an AOL chatroom in 1997? You aren’t even the same person as you were then.

Archiving without specific opt-in permission? No, no, a thousand times no.- Stephen Michael Kellat repeated this.
