How well known is Sanctioned Suicide in your country?

[noname223]

I think in the US and GB SaSu is the most well known compared to other countries.

In Germany SaSu is not well known. It is very niche. But I think many Germans watch English speaking Youtubers. Maybe this forum will gain popularity.

I think there is a lot of censorship around this topic in Germany. Also in search engines.

I consume German media quite a lot. And I searched for SN, SaSu and Kenneth Law.

There was one very very small outlet that mentioned SaSu in an article. They sort of copy-pasted the NYT article. With the same narrative.

I saw reports of Kenneth Law without mentioning the substance. There are reports that Amazon was sued for SN suicides but only in small outlets.

Overall SaSu isn't well known where I live. And I sort of appreciate that. It is less likely to meet people you actually know.

Since it's not been mentioned in any major cases (such as Kenneth Law and stuff) and it's an english-based forum, it is not much known in Brazil.

 

[Rahat]

Not so much. And it gives me a sense of relief because the day it will blow up, will be the day suicide through SN will come under radar and their sales will be restricted.

Even though a country may know a local area can be hugely different.

I doubt anyone knows about this site where i live, especially since it's in english and people in here don't and have no desire to learn english.

On another note i think people in here basically don't suicide at all, it's such a small country it basically never happens, and there's a lot of christianity

 

[tonicer]

I'm German and i don't know anyone else who even recognizes the name and i hope it stays niche or our damn government will block it for the citizens.

 

[insectontrial]

Unfortunately, I am British!

 

[Too_Many_Years]

Very much well known! A VPN is needed in the UK

 

[froggirl9000]

Considering the press here is constantly reporting on it and you now need a VPN to access it, I'd say this country is one where it's more well-known.

 

[thelostautistic]

I think it's very well known where I'm from.

 

[LaetumCat]

Hhhmmmmm... Probably not much, I've only met like one or two people here from the same country. I prefer it this way tho, makes me less scared of people finding out.

 

[meiherasayuri]

idk

 

[Ferdinand Bardamu]

It's blocked here.

 

[Hopel3ss]

in italy it's not that well known

 

[mjolnir]

This forum is not known in my country; I didn't even know it existed before occasionally stumbling upon it.

 

[overthrone]

Literally never heard of it in my country. Stumbled on it by complete chance.

 

[TokaNoOwari]

I personally have never heard Sanctioned Suicide be mentioned in my country. The whole suicide topic rarely ever gets mentioned or talked about beyond a train track suicide being an inconvenience on somebodies daily commute.

Our society is built around pretending suicide doesn't happen or maybe it has become such a common occurrence for people that everybody stopped caring about it. I stumbled upon a suicide a number of times so far, but you just walk around it and continue with your day.

Can't be late to work, am i right?

 

[revontulet]

Not very well known, but a newspaper has written about this site. They mentioned one Finnish guy who has passed away and he was using this forum few years ago.

 

[yume_]

Yeah, I think in countries who don't speak English it is not well known.

But I already encountered quite a bit of people here from my country. I mean it is a pretty big country after all.

 

[3rdworldsadness]

Nobody knows anything about this site here.

 

[Matchaaa]

personally I think this forum is not well known in my country, since it's mainly in English and most people here speak their native language, so I can read it openly in public (okay, I'm just asking for trouble ^ ^)

 

[stripey]

i haven't heard a single person even mention this site in real life
but that could probably be said for most people in other countries too

 

[vitbar]

The press here don't name the place (UK). Suicide forums as a concept are more commonly known of.
