• 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 admin@sanctioned-suicide.net.

    Read our statement here:

There's a few bits and pieces on Reddit but that's it I think.
They fear copycats? There's even articles stating that the suicide rate hasn't climbed since the start of the pandemic lol

The rate is soaring. I don't remember where I read it. It is especially high in 18 to 24 year olds.

The suicide rate has been rising a lot. I'm also surprised I havnt been seeing it in the news. I suppose it's to make others feel better and kind of push it a side so they don't have to think about it?

I wouldnt be surprised if they stated that person died of corona Instead of suicide. Not to alarm anyone on the news...

It's bizzare there has been radio silence on this but there has to be a big rise. People have been deprived of basic liberties for nearly a year.

It's like the scene in The Happening all over the world. People falling off buildings, laying under lawn mowers, etc,

went to a speech once regarding how to manage suicide cases. the media doesn't usually cover suicide cases as specialists fear that may induce suicidal individuals and suicide survivors to go down that path as well.

its a scientific fact if I recall correctly that suicidality increases amongst those groups. well, at least that's what psychiatrists says. they think that'd encourage ctb.

i am within the medical field. there has been many suicide attempts and a few success between classmates and not a word was said. that applies to the whole university i am in btw.

they'd rather just pretend suicide is not a thing.

no need to solve a problem if you don't acknowledge it's existence.

People are more connected than ever. It should be all over their social media feeds.

tbh i'd rather not have if addressed as much, draws less attention to the forum.

it's not like they would improve mental healthcare simultaneously so what good it would do?

plus not only the media dislikes approaching such topics. people are not opened to discuss suicide. it's still taboo. even if the news started to notify cases i don't there would be a huge modification in the public behavior.

indeed we are connected, but not in a meaningful deep way. we see each other and can trade information faster, but that's not the same as being emotional connected. i guess people don't really care about suicide tbh, but that's just me.
