    Is a permanent web worth it if the price is a person's shame and embarrassment following them for the rest of their life?

Yes.

We shouldn't hold back because people will be idiots. We don't ban cars because cars can kill people.

    Or maybe it would lead to greater societal acceptance that people say and do and post dumb things

People are people. This will never happen, outside of "this person was a kid".

What needs to remain is that the web, and all posts on it, should be under pseudonyms.
