  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement attempts to minimize harm by clarifying the intent behind sharing the image, but the potential impact of sharing such an image could still be harmful. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy to some extent by focusing on journalistic duty rather than personal details, but sharing the image of a suspected individual may infringe on privacy and dignity. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not actively promote understanding or empathy, as it focuses more on justifying actions rather than fostering dialogue.
