Before You Delete It, Record It First
On Monday morning, you see a post shared under your name, and your hand reaches for the delete button. This story is for you.
Scenes
- Before You Delete It, Pause for a Moment — Seeing a post shared under your name makes you want to delete it right away. First, let’s not close the screen.
- Because you want it to be as if it never happened — You’re afraid of who might have seen it, so you want to erase the traces first. But if you delete it in a hurry, it becomes harder to look back and understand what happened.
- I closed it before I could save the screen. — After finding the post at the kitchen table, you leave only one screenshot and close the app. You don’t record the post’s address or time.
- You need the facts in sequence, not just one screenshot. — Evidence doesn’t mean just one screenshot. The post, account name, address, and time all need to be saved together so the sequence can be checked again.
- Leave the Screen as It Is — Tonight, before replying or deleting anything, try saving the entire post, its address, and the time in one place. If you feel overwhelmed, you can stop right there.
- Even if you can’t record everything, you’ve made a start. — You don’t have to record everything perfectly from the beginning. Using the facts you’ve kept, we’ll draw the next line of safety.
