Whilst there is no need for panic or hysteria, I think it's obvious that the noose is tightening (pun intended). Hopefully this serves as a wake up call to some members. We do need to be more careful, as more attention is gained daily. Obviously we are being watched. Every day there's increasing new members and guests, posts and threads disappearing, publically shared links disappearing, resources and suppliers disappearing, this site (and others) recently banned in Aus, accidentally remaining logged in after ctb, a new disclaimer added here and the list goes on...
It's not just here, it's also darknet markets recently closing, new international money transfer and bitcoins purchasing ID requirements, extreme religious and ideological beliefs online etc etc. it's not paranoia, if it's really happening! It's everywhere online but don't worry, it's all for your 'protection'... It's still no need for panic, just more precautions.
I'd just like to see some members be more careful, as I think some people forget / don't care that it's all public and socially abhorrent. Whilst we're pro-choice, the majority of the world is not and views suicide as a part of mental illness that can be cured and prevented. Whether we agree with this or not, it's the reality.
I believe it's really important for us all to take precautions and be careful. This is a special place that needs to be protected, not just for us all now but also for future people that need help too.
