However, it's nevertheless important to monitor the information that is out there. Start by Googling yourself on a regular basis, and searching social networking sites for references. If you do find some malicious content, contact the person directly and ask them to remove the material. If it is hateful in nature, you can always approach the service or host to ask that the information be removed. Finally, as a last resort, legal action is always an option (though a very expensive one). I know that it isn't a great situation to be in, but it's better to be aware of malicious material than to be unaware. Thanks for the comment!
