Exactly right. Corporations already use a complex web of eula and tos that effectively opt you out of the legal system and into the court of their favorite arbiter.

If there's some guy out there with your name, who also lives in your state and also uses facebook, and he happens to be a klansman, by the time you realize that you have a Kafkaesque situation to sort out with your 'social capital,' the damage may already be tremendous.
