This is already being seen at the local level. My local (Australian) representative was recently voted out by the electorate. His Facebook feed contains many disparaging comments to members of his electorate, such as calling me a “terrorist advocate” because I thought removal of citizenship should lie with the courts, rather than individual politicians.
He has already started a sanitising process to clean out all the posts where he said something he now comes to regret. The result is the destruction of what the Australian Archive Office would consider official elector/representative communications.
