You can't infer that, just as I can't infer there is for the majority. There's not enough data.
I suspect there is downside for far more than is generally believed.
How many jobs carry some googling of candidate? Nearly all of them.
You can now discriminate against just about anything you can dscover in search. Politics, religion, "too many" photos of parties, pro or anti any topic. None of these things are the business of an employer or landlord and would never come up pre-google unless you chose to share them in your application.
It's naive to assume none of these occur extensively. Gender discrimination has been illegal for years yet is still widespread.
