This also feels like one of the early rounds of some friction that I've seen predicted for quite some time, between the internet native generation's attitudes that social media posts are communications in and of a moment and not necessarily meant for posterity and the established feeling that anything that gets committed to writing, photo, or video under your name sticks with you for all eternity. Something is going to have to give there, but I don't know what will give or what norms will be once that happens. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
