If one decides to make one’s life public enough, and be vitriolic enough, yes, one might garner negative attention.
Anyone who is dumb enough to publicize many many specific and tangible intimate details on the internet gets what they deserve. Just like people who file frivolous lawsuits. One of the teachers in our town, that my children know well, had a DUI. No job action because of it, but he thought it would be wise to contest the DUI so the court case was all over the papers. One of his parents passed away, and upon doing a search on the teacher’s name, to read his parent’s obituary (who we didn’t have the name of), we found the DUI immediately. The DUI was not listed as a matter of public record, but the court case was.
Don’t do stupid stuff. Don’t tell people about stupid stuff you did.
