That's not to say that we shouldn't suppress facts for moral purposes. There are good arguments for it.
This is where you lost me, William. What do you mean?

I would assume that he is referring to how we handle BLP-style facts. Consider the home address and school attended by, say twelve-year-old TV actors [[Sullivan and Sawyer Sweeten]]. We have collectively agreed that those facts should be suppressed, even if we could reliably verify them.

I believe he's mixing up "using wikipedia AS a moral tool" and "creating wikipedia witha sense of ethics", first one is about how you use wikipedia, second not.
However, depending on where's your seat, you'll get a different kind of noise, and thus will get a diferent idea of what's wikipedia and what are people talking about
