Question 9 • Social Media: Our Connected World (IS)

When Kiran was younger, be thought a lot of racially charged jokes were funny and shared them on social media. Now he is older and sees things differently. They were several years ago, so it is very unlikely that an employer will find them. Should he remove these posts from social media?

Answer
A
No, it was years ago.
B
No, a lot of people make mistakes when they are young.
C
Yes, if they do not reflect his current views, he should definitely remove them.
D
Yes, he should just wipe out his entire social media history to be on the safe side.

Explanation

Kiran’s posts promote views he no longer holds, so removing them is a sensible way to keep his social media consistent with who he is now. The fact that the posts are old does not guarantee an employer will never find them, and he does not need to erase his entire social media history. Choice C recommends removing posts that do not reflect his current views.
