Our policies should reflect our supposed commitment to collecting the data.
If the data shows that person X is a cad, then that's not our fault, and we
have no moral responsibility to that person. No more than any other
journalistic outlet. "Do no harm" is an unusable mantra because it can be used
to
exclude anything negative or even-suspect from an article.
Perhaps someone can come up with a better "nutshell" of what the BLP policy
is really about.
