How weʼve presented ourselves online in the past is preserved, and this record is becoming larger and easier for strangers to retrieve and access without our knowledge.!

However, “[t]he future of our online idenEEes and reputaEons will ulEmately be shaped not just by laws and technologies but also by changing social norms.”
Personal information on social media sites and online activity can negatively impact a userʼs employability throughout the hiring process today, but social media sharing is constantly
evolving as it proliferates. Although we are no longer in control of what online information
stays hidden, social perception and norms shift with the new uses and these shifts may
positively transform the way social media personas and professional reputations
converge. !
