Because peoples mindsets change on an individual level and on a mass scale. One very good example, if someone was a raging racist in the past and turned his life around people can ruin his life if they showed old online posts of his to an employer. Idk if youve seen this but theres been a trend of people getting fired from jobs due to being onlyfans models in the past, it would suck bigtime if everything people do or did online was stuck to them forever because everyone makes mistakes and its bad for them to be brought up once theye older/outdated/irrelevant.
