Is this recommendation based on anything?

An empirical observation that people like to Google-stalk everyone they come into contact with, to start with.

I don't have any (even anecdotal) evidence that this is necessary.

Evidence of what, precisely? You don't think that people google up, say, job applicants and then reject them on the basis of what they found?
