Thanks, I guess it makes sense in that way. Maybe it's that I see this social media content on the web and liken it to web sites in general, whereas it could be more like IRC or something, where sometimes it's not cool to keep logs and make the ephemeral persist. It's still weird for me though. Seems silly to try to restrict content socially instead of technically. Or maybe it's that I would use social media differently, in that I wouldn't put out anything I wouldn't want any given person to know about me, and in that way I would want others to view as much of it as they want, because all of it makes up the image I'm presenting.

I feel like there's a whole different mode of thinking, or maybe a whole different analogy, of these things, which I'm only barely scraping at.
