This. My wife works at a doctors office. There was a lady in the RDU area who went on all the news channels ripping a bunch of doctors offices whom she had "disagreements" with (intentionally not getting into specifics). She eventually called my wife's office. They googled her (as they do everyone) and then politely declined to get involved with that mess.
I tell young people all the time, share as little as possible on the internets. And especially don't share things like your frickin *DNA* (does it get more private than that?) with one of these government collection sites d/b/a ancestry.com, etc. Then you're also screwing your relatives...even ones that aren't born yet...
