[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 77149, member: 5063"] This is a really interesting issue - I think it's likely to result in a whole manner of opinions. [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] would possibly be well-placed to advise from a grad rec perspective. My opinion is, from a grad rec perspective, you'll not have a problem. They have much, much better things to do with their time than hunt for a facebook profile and try and scroll through to find some post from a decade ago! If you're worried that people on your friends list may take something out of context/ put you in a situation as described, I can only advise that you go through your Facebook and delete old entries manually. For what it's worth, I personally keep my Facebook security settings locked down really quite tightly - not because I particularly have anything to hide, merely because I don't really use it any more. I keep my Insta public, but my granny follows me so I wouldn't post anything that I wouldn't want her seeing anyway 😂😂 Erasing your profile and starting a new one is definitely more convenient, though. From a personal perspective, I am (and would advise everyone to be) highly conscious of what they put on social media now. Equally, though, it isn't pragmatic to ignore the fact that the world has changed massively and things which were acceptable even five years ago (rightly or wrongly) and no longer acceptable in the present day. Always better to be cautious, and also just generally removing material like that from the internet is only ever going to be a good thing: educating ourselves and recognising when we've maybe shared material, in good faith, which could now be considered inappropriate, is important and a worthwhile journey.
