Usually we applaud transparence at Gizmodo , but is n’t the total point of an edit feature article to pick your tracks , whitewash the past , and leave behind a better statement than the one you crank up out to start with ? Not any longer . Whenever a Quaker ( or foe ) edits any Facebook remark , an Edited push will be tacked on — click that , and you ’ve mother a big gaping window that shows the entire history of the comment . Every . Single . modification . Did you screw up a fact ? Say something insulting ? Hurt someone ’s feelings ? Lie ? It ’ll be there .
Of course , you may just cancel any incriminating scuttlebutt , but then we ’re just back to square one . Online editing is only good if it allows you to ostracize your inferior self expression to an unreachable net vortex . Now we ’re all just going to make fool of ourselves .
