Yes I agree, no other generation had to deal with their life and words being documented like this. Punishing adults for stuff they'd said as a teenager without allowing them to have grown up and regret and apologise is not a progressive way forward imo What's the incentive for people to learn and change if they're not allowed to move on from past mistakes?
