Could laws against revenge porn be applied here?

Seems like colleges of yore would have welcomed the opportunity to “change the mind of” the Gamer-word-saying guy. It’s a shame they no longer have the guts to stand up to the ugly little petty weasels who would ruin that kid’s life.

>Crimes like assault and arson can be expunged if done before 18, but a social media video where a guy shouts a racial slur is forever.

For idiots who use social media under their real names and faces. Why do people do that?

Although I agree with the sentiment, I don’t know if I agree that there should be legal protection behind it. The ideal would be to return to a social context where these sorts of incidents are viewed in the correct proportion, as stupid stuff that stupid teens do. Is it possible? I don’t know. I hope so.

For adults it's unmanageable, but there is plenty of precedent for youths to get a clean slate since it's acknowledged people should generally not be held accountable for the rest of their lives for actions taken before they were full adults.
