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.
