  • 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].

No. He didn't sell any illegal substance. It's the responsibility of the people who bought it and it's their choice what they want to do with it.

It should never be a crime providing ways for people to reliably leave this world, doing such a thing is being compassionate as it's preventing people from attempting more brutal and risky suicide methods, the fact that such a thing is criminal shows what a disgusting world we exist in. The criminal thing instead will always be how people are denied a right to die in peace.

The world is so cruel. They make it sound like assisting suicides is a bad thing when personally I believe giving people the access to reliably exit is such a good cause. He will likely be charged and this is just another reason why I find society so cruel and inhumane. When will society realize humans suffer too…

He was knowingly distributing it to people who were going to use it to self-delete. Ultra libertarians may defend this, but most people probably think that selling a means of CTB to a depressed person is a rather reprehensible action.

From a legal point of view, things are more interesting. SN is not illegal, and he did ask for proof of age before sending it (though I've heard that this was not strictly adhered to). A good lawyer could possibly get him off the hook based on that.

In my opinion, this should be taken as just one more reason as to why legal euthanasia should be a thing. People are desperate enough to CTB to the point that they are buying chemicals online from shady folks like this man. Abortion was finally legalised after decades of women's seeking dangerous illegal abortions because it was accepted that it is something that, whilst horrible, is just going to happen. Suicide is the same.

Well said Richard.
