Concern yourself all you like, that doesn't make speculation about a "possibility" a fact, but it does make grist for those with an ax to grind, an agenda to promote, a bias to repeat, or as a cute segue into YouTube clips and other references to favored stereotypes.
I have a concern about lawyers and law firms that drum up publicity with press releases to the public or posts on social media in order to promote their law practice or their version of a case, that doesn't mean that concern validates a "possibility" of that being the fact in this instance.
