Wow, okay, I think you've missed the points made by this article.
To summarise the article...
1. We learn valuable lessons from our mistakes.
2. Before the era of smartphones and social media, people could make mistakes and not have those mistakes follow them around for the rest of their lives.
3. By making mistakes more public we're creating a chilling effect on learning.
4. The freedom to make mistakes isn't one that should be limited to a select few. Aside from certain types of mistake that should be dealt with strongly by the legal system, the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them is a privilege that we should give to the majority of people.
