My own style and relationship with S is such that I would be straightforward, but I can understand that that may not feel right. On the other hand, your S may not have any idea that all this comes up with a simple googling of his name. The twist is that it's not even on his own site, it's on hers, which is exactly what I am always telling my kids when they say that their sites have privacy settings. Hopefully your S will see the wisdom of asking the girl to edit her page and remove this private conversation, or at the very least the link to his full name. If you can google this, so can a potential employer, etc. Alternatively, if you really don't want to be so direct, you can mention the topic in general and hope he takes the hint.
I've googled both of my kids and don't see anything wrong with that - it's information that is available to anyone and everyone. Interestingly, both of them have the same names as people who have very impressive resumes within their fields; at least that's a good thing if they were ever to be confused!
