Answer 1

Permanent records include criminal records (even just an arrest sticks around) credit reports (though not permanent, certainly long-lasting and frequently checked by employers and landlords) and social media history. That’s right kids, those racist/sexist/edgy jokes you posted on MySpace back in 2002 could cost you a job tomorrow. Arguing with a stranger on the internet today could cost you everything in 2045.
