'''Outing''' is the revealing of the name attached to someone's body, or any information that can be used to track them down and do [[bodily harm]] to them. | '''Outing''' is the revealing of the name attached to someone's body, or any information that can be used to track them down and do [[bodily harm]] to them. It is the most basic [[privacy]] concern that we can have regarding [[Consumerium Services]]. Names should never be attached if it can be avoided, and [[reputation]] should be managed by [[faction]]s to avoid relying on it too directly, which creates most of the temptations for outing in a [[large public wiki]]. | ||
It is a grave concern of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]]. A good policy would be that no information can be revealed and attached to [[anonymous contributor]]s outside some process that examines only actual threats of bodily harm to other contributors, and to a degree that would stand up at least under [[international law]]. After all, comments made here may result in a risk to someone's life due to [[ruling party]] activity or revenge from those they are saying negative things about, true or not. We don't want to help that happen, instead we would prefer the [[political virtues]] are applied very consistently. | It is a grave concern of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].

[[Pinks]] in particular take outing extremely seriously - some factions in the gay community have relatively strict and brutal rules for dealing with those who "out" others on an involuntary basis: whatever happens to the person who is outed, will happen to the person who outs them, period. So if someone loses a job because someone else decided to reveal they were gay involuntarily, then, the faction will make sure that s/he who revealed them also loses their job etc. | [[Pinks]] in particular take outing extremely seriously - some factions in the gay community have relatively strict and brutal rules for dealing with those who "out" others on an involuntary basis: whatever happens to the person who is outed, will happen to the person who outs them, period.
