   The best time to delete all social media accounts and never post anything online with your name attached ever again was 10 years ago. The second best time is right now. This stuff can and will be used against you out of context 10, 20, 30 years into the future.

      I always thought it was bold for people to post anything using their real identity.

      You never know if a stance you have now will be frowned upon in 5 or 10 years from now.

      I’ve heard you can’t pass customs with a phone without your social network accounts.

         Maybe not all customs are created equally, but flying between Toronto and the states I have never had to show my phone let alone my social accounts. Also never seen that going up through customs.

            Sometimes people get searched randomly, and occasionally it correlates to their skin color.
