The fact that you think people are vulnerable does not give you the right to usurp their decision-making agency from them, nor to argue that valid information should be hidden from them.
If it bothers you that they might misinterpret information or make questionable decisions, feel free to take the initiative on your own to provide them with reliable information and offer guidance in helping them make good decisions, within a context of mutual trust and accountability. If you're not willing to do that, then the best option is to keep out of it entirely.
But arguing for third parties with their own agenda to forcefully usurp their right to make their own decisions and censor information from them, just to satisfy your own feelings of concern -- derived from speculation about the situation of strangers you have no relationship with or accountability to -- is profoundly immoral.
