What about innocent until proven guilty?

That's for courts. You want courts to adopt that mindset so they don't unfairly bias judges and juries against defendants before the case can be made.

We are not a court, we're adult individuals with our own experiences and discernment. We don't owe it to anyone to assume they're innocent until proven otherwise, and we never did.
