  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

Might as well automate suicide hotlines and install bots to save money.

@LunarPyotr Maybe they do that just to give impression that they care and put a checkmark?

I know it's a wishful thinking and won't happen anytime soon especially with that certain watchdog still on the prowl, but I genuinely hope that one day SS will be able to develop a platform like 7cups where people in the need can chat with well trained listeners who are pro choice.

Sadly this is how a lot of what they call "listeners" are taught to speak. The idea behind it is to not interject your own feelings and opinions into the conversation, rather, you remain neutral and try to get the other person to figure out things on their own.

Unfortunately, people who reach out to someone else in a time of need need to feel like the person on the other end actually gives a shit. That's next to near impossible if the person trying to help has to carefully watch what they say. This is also why I don't subscribe to therapy or any other forms of distant bullshit like it. Its cold, impersonal and makes myself and most others feel more isolated and unheard. Not helpful at all.
