If not it spreads a wrong message to the people of Vale/Remant and the that look up to them. Weiss only says that she despises the whitefang/faunus but never once does she harmed a faunus. So in all likely hood Weiss is following the law and Blake is not.

What is legal and what is right are two completely different things. Blake did something wrong, and is now trying to make it right. From a moral standpoint, this would be morally good as she is taking responsibility for what she has done. However according to Blake's statement, the Schnee Dust Company has shady business partners and possibly a labor force right above the rank of slaves; sure that may be legal but it isn't morally good. Laws are changed all the time because they aren't moral, usually because they become outdated or because times change.
