I'll throw some complexity in-- those social standards change, sometimes as a result of deliberate action, sometimes as a matter of random factors.

The most notable recent example is prejudice against homosexuality getting considerably toned down.

I agree that there's a chance that just not having a public record of oneself mightl be considered to be suspicious.

I'm hoping that the loss of privacy will lead to a more accurate understanding of what people are really like, and more reasonable standards, but I'm not counting on it.
