"The appearance of XXX's name in the files does not imply wrongdoing"

2•chrisjj•1h ago
E.g. at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9ykjlyv50o

Anyone else uncomfortable with this new BBC boilerplate?

The reporter cannot know. Might be wrong. Possibly the appearence does.

Clearly his goal is to disclaim accusation.

But why not stick with e.g. "does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing"?.

because these files contain a lot of arbitrary garbage, including unsent emails

for instance, you will find Stephen Colbert's name in there - because an email sent between two of epstein's buddies included a line where the author thought that epstein would enjoy Colbert's show

so his name is in the files, and he really has nothing to do with it - and I bet there's a lot more, considering the sources of the files

not saying that all the names in that file are innocent - just saying that having your name appear in the file doesn't make you a pedophile - otherwise we should watch out for Forrest Gump and Pikachu too. Their names also appear in the files.

If you are going to redact the name, could you use the same number of letters? eg XXXXp
