Super awkward responses to this suggestion, and quite frankly I don't think it matters or care what happened in the past. If a staff member doesn't want to do it, they don't have to.
And hate to burst anyone's bubble; but if you have even minimal amounts of tech savvy and a few hundred bucks you can find out the current and previous places of employment, registered vehicles, current and previous home addresses, most court and arrest records, and most extended family as well as all that aforementioned info on them. If you pay a PI or are very friendly with someone in law enforcement/access to government data bases this access expands greatly. If you're going to wear a tinfoil hat, make it a big one. There is just about 0 privacy anymore for anyone. What it really comes down to is just if you fall in the cross hairs of a someone crazy enough with even a modicum of intelligence and a bit of free time. Existing online already puts you at an increased risk for this, especially doing a job where you include your real name online for people to see because that's pretty much the only data point needed along with a general location to get the ball rolling; but just existing in general makes it possible for anyone.
Cool off with the sarcasm and snark, it's obnoxious. Voice your concerns like an adult, or not at all.
You’re a scary person
Just friends with two PIs and several law enforcement. Many who find it amusing to tell me how many guns the government knows I own (thankfully, it's not all of them), what cars I drove in HS before they even knew me, where my cousins who I don't really have relationships with currently live and what they do for work.... That's leaving aside a friend in "IT" who I used to whine to about anonymous trolls on social media when I was still on it who went on to tell me with a username, they can typically get an email, with an email, they can typically get a real name, and from there sky's the limit.
I'd say the world is a scary place, and I'm just a realist. I also know I'm not interesting enough or enough of a prick to anyone to get too worked up about most of this stuff. But I think it's good for people to know things like the fact Google has server farms which have been retaining and storing data for well over a decade that we know about. Every search you've ever typed in a search bar, every location you've ever looked at on google maps, any app you've ever downloaded on an Android device and it's associated data including passwords (never use the same ones obv.). And while not explicitly stated by them, this likely includes every photo you've ever stored on a Google drive or cloud, likely any photo you ever even took with an Android phone. I'm sure Apple is similar, as are all cell phone companies and ISPs. If someone really wanted, they could probably find texts you sent through Verizon networks over 20 years ago on your old Nokia brick phone. Maybe even your snake high score. Mine was excellent, so no shame for me there. It's not something I'd be actively worrying about, but good to acknowledge reality and adjust the decisions you make moving forward in life accordingly.
