Hehe, a lot to unpack here and I would love to write a longer post on this. What you are doing in each of your posts is applying ethical reasoning, which is great.
My hope is to boost awareness of unintentional harm based on re-using other people's content in ways they did not initially intend and did not approve.
So when engaging in actions that manage other people's content my ideal situation is one where ethical reasoning takes place, with the explicit goal of minimising harm. Best-case this reasoning is documented and transparent.
To an extent this is what you are doing 😊
With clients I lead them through impact mapping exercises, where impacts are often valued according to their severity, how much the contribution is, how neglected/vulnerable those affected are and how likely it is to happen.
When we don't know the answer we need to find out, from people who are affected. Which means proactive listening.
Exercises like this also create more understanding for situations where functionality has to be recalled - and that is more often then planned as a potential circumstance.
I'll try to find time to think about and address each of your examples but it will have to be after the weekend. 😊
(Edit: First meant for this reply to go to @janboddez but I realised it was still relevant for both.)
