He was basically told that the real powers that be would begin to look at his web history within a certain time frame and that he should clean up anything that might reflect poorly on him. My son knows in a round about way that some of these folks are very religious, so of course he worries his atheism might be a black mark.

But, yeah, that might be the least of his worries, as he has music he has recorded out on the internet as well as books he has self-published. Both the books and music contain bad language. Most people wouldn't consider the language "that" bad, but some folks would be offended by the f-word that he has used quite frequently in the dialogue in his stories.

He's just considering how much of his true self he's willing to hide just to secure a better wage.
