To Everything, Turn Turn Turn

the ideal media diet for a child is books and music from at least fifty years ago so they are always out of touch with the references and allusions of their peer group

The big key is that we absolutely failed as a society to teach these young people early on the immense consequences that can result from using your real name on the internet. When I was in elementary school learning internet safety nearly twenty years ago, we were merely taught that you should never use your real name on websites because predators could be lurking around every corner. This is demonstrably true, as we have seen, but this rhetoric also ignores the even likelier possibility that businesses and universities will find your presence on the internet and reject you categorically. Fast forward just a few years in the future from where I was, and you'll find that no one was even teaching these kids internet safety at all. They really grew up believing nothing would happen to them, and then found out the hard way how untrue that is.
