A unique research project is tracking hundreds of people at risk for suicide, using data from smartphones and wearable biosensors to identify periods of high danger — and intervene.

lmao they're substituting "u should give away your privacy for privacy is for terrorists and drug dealers" for 'we're good we preventing suicides collecting ur year-old message histories and recording all your voice communications, biometrics etc for the transmission in real time to throughout analyze in cloud based data centers'

Never trust companies taking away your privacy in exchange for "safety". It's always a lie.

So these fools and idiots, think I'm going to surrender my free will, or compromise myself to continue a life I have hated every second of for the last 63 years? What are these little geniuses smoking?

Paywall. Can't read the article.

But I mean... yeah... you can predict suicidality probably by looking at google search histories.
Why would that require a funded research project?

Yeah, why not... suicide is just one more human aspect that proper human-to-human bonding experience could alleviate or prevent, but instead those wannabe cyber innovators, smartphone zombies want to take away, as well - or they just want to make themselves rich - or both...

Thank you for sharing the article, though.

I'm sure this breach of privacy for hundreds of millions of people will stop 10s of suicides!
