Agreed that private lists may cause collateral damage due to false positives. But if they also help people avoid abuse then people will obviously continue to use them despite this. Given that it is impossible to outlaw rumors it is ultimately up to those in power to ensure that reporting misconduct via the proper channels is more effective than relying on private lists. Given how many people feel unsafe with members of Parliament it is unsurprising that they resort to alternatives to keep themselves safe.
