What good is an "ethics paragraph" anyway? Isn't it like prefacing an offensive statement with "no offense, but"? It's one thing if you have a disclaimer to protect the user, since the user is making the decision. It's another thing to make a disclaimer that just lectures the user about privacy, but does nothing to protect the doxxed. That just seems like a lame attempt to make the site less liable, like when people post copyright content with the disclaimer "I do not own this."
