Using uncertainty to punish your perceived enemies is called "injustice".

No, figuring out harms is called "thinking before acting", and unless you want laws and regulations written in blood (something I personally want to avoid), you need to think before acting.

Figuring out what harms something in wide use has, is a good thing, and doesn't mean "ban it today", it means "lets figure it out".

Language this vague has a name: it's called "bullshit".
Reminds me of another slang, probably applicable to this entire discussion: "pointless"
