The Internet is Forever Everything we post online has the potential to be found later. You may thinking, "So? I'll just a fake name." Well, if the person searching for information about you is tech-savvy enough, your fake name can be connected to you through your IP address, for example. Even if you are new to using the internet, or you don't think what you posted 20 years ago will come back to haunt you, you could be wrong. Your digital footprint is as important as your personal reputation with other people. Don't let something you posted online impact your ability to find (or KEEP) a job in the future.
