Edit: I want to highlight that I do appreciate the compassion that I think is part of the model in your post, and I don’t mean this comment as a personal attack but rather a very specific criticism.
Huh, I’m not sure why I didn’t voice my disagreement initially. My vote was because the phrases you suggested come across as arrogant and patronising, in my opinion.
I think it’s sometimes obvious that you’d not tell someone you care about something that would hurt them; and at other times whether you should tell them or not is something that needs to be established explicitly according to their preferences. If it’s not your private information, it should be an extremely rare occasion anyway.
It also adds that in either case, you’re hiding the information without actually giving any information on what they can expect it to be like, which perhaps contradicts your model.
I admit my disagreement partially has to do with rejecting the concept of infohazards, which I find arrogant and patronising in general.
