I agree and in all honesty, anyone who hasn't completely deleted their old social media accounts that go back years and (if still using social media at all) switched to fresh, HEAVILY controlled profiles is being flat out stupid. If there's even a CHANCE that you made a dodgy joke 10 years ago that you don't remember, back when no one cared,
burn the entire account and start a new one. I don't have any social media account that's more than 2 years old and I'm very, very selective about what I'll post on them.
On the plus side; it might mean a resurgence of anonymous / semi-anonymous social internet, like forums
