### Strategic Content Classification System

Not all old content requires the same response. Develop a systematic classification to prioritize your cleanup efforts.

The HARM Assessment Framework

Classify each piece of content using this framework:

H - High Risk (Immediate Action Required):

- Content involving illegal activities - Discriminatory or hate speech - Inappropriate photos (drinking, drugs, sexual content) - Controversial political or religious statements - Confidential business information - Content that could indicate poor judgment to employers

A - Attention Needed (Address Soon):

- Outdated political opinions you no longer hold - Photos from parties or social events that might be misinterpreted - Comments on controversial topics - Old relationship content or dating profile information - Location data that reveals personal patterns

R - Review Periodically (Monitor):

- Generic social content that's outdated but harmless - Old photos that are simply unflattering - Outdated interests or hobby content - Old check-ins at common locations

M - Maintain (Keep as Positive Examples):

- Professional achievements and recognition - Community service and volunteer work - Positive interactions and helpful comments - Content that demonstrates your expertise or values - Milestones and accomplishments

Content Impact Scoring

For each piece of content, assign impact scores:

Visibility Score (1-5):

- 5: Appears in first page of Google results for your name - 4: Easily findable through social media search - 3: Visible to friends/followers but not in search results - 2: Requires direct link to access - 1: Buried or requires multiple steps to find

Professional Risk Score (1-5):

- 5: Could result in job loss or severe professional consequences - 4: Likely to negatively impact hiring decisions - 3: Might be questioned in professional contexts - 2: Could be misinterpreted but explained - 1: Minimal to no professional impact

Personal Risk Score (1-5):

- 5: Could damage important personal relationships - 4: Might cause family or social embarrassment - 3: Could be misunderstood by people who know you - 2: Slightly inconsistent with current values - 1: No meaningful personal impact

Content scoring 12 or higher (total of all three scores) requires immediate attention.
