what I meant by that question was due to my research on posts and replies on the forums of this site. I saw that many people love to tell people where not to go in order to see things they shouldnt see. Yet, they dont realize that on the world net you are promoting more of where people should go to see it.
If people never know where to see the evil that they dont want them to seen. Then why do people give the names and addresses, and more.....Like that is really supposed divert the attention? Not really. This is why so many people are paranoid of so many things in this world. People they know too many places, persons, and things of evil and not enough of God’s goodness. People promote more evil than they minister about God. Really pay attention.
I know many they are giving warnings, and I understand this. But so many warnings become false alarms that make people act unnecessarily. If they never knew, then they would treat situations normally. Does this help you understand where the question was directed and what it meant?

Warning people of evil can help them avoid it.

If they are given an address or something, then they can recognize it by that alone and stay away from it instead of investigating it and inadvertently being exposed to something they cannot unsee (for lack of a better term).

Warning people of danger is an act of love if you want them to avoid evil. If by providing the information to warn people, some people indulge instead of avoid, well, that can’t be helped. If they want to seek out evil, they’ll find it anyway. Ignoring it or pretending it doesn’t make it go away. Out of sight, out of mind is not a wise spiritual principle to hold to in regard to evil.

The way to overcome evil is with good through God.

imho,

Only Holy Spirit can discern when to warn and when not to.

Sources are required.

And, The Bible never flinched about calling evil—evil—and saying where it was, it’s roots etc.

I think there’s a time to protect children from too much information.

There’s also a time to prepare teens for the world they must contend with.

And, ignorant, clueless, wimpy, untrained, untoughened Chrisitans are easy marks for the enemy.
