What if you don't have social media accounts?

Reports like this tend to trigger a Google search for my own name and correspondence with all sites that show up, "please delete all my shit".

Finally deleted my Facebook account last week, too.

Maybe we need a religion that forbids using social media, or more broadly, your real identity online?

Good idea. You'll get bonus social points for being a persecuted religious minority when you're turned away and it's publicized.
