There’s also a broader issue about reputation management. Some individuals actively shape their online presence, while others ignore it completely. Ignoring it can allow third party narratives to dominate. That doesn’t mean those narratives are accurate, but they become the default story. In that sense, the lack of a counterbalancing presence can indirectly contribute to suspicion. It’s an interesting dynamic and not unique to this case. Understanding that helps explain why these discussions arise.
