Context

Years of Facebook posts contain information you may no longer want public—old photos, embarrassing posts, check-ins at locations, relationship status changes. Employers, dates, and adversaries can all see this history.

The average Facebook user has 10+ years of posts that have never been reviewed for oversharing.
