Just as archeologists study carefully preserved tombs and ancient trash heaps to gain insight into historic communities, your long-forgotten digital footprint could be more revealing and sensitive than you realize.
If you don't have auto-delete turned on for a chat, all of those 'be there in 10 minutes,' 'wait, what color is this dress???' and 'welp, I have covid' messages are still knocking around years later.
