  • 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].

Just like that. I never insulted anyone. I just commented the words on the title on a video about a guy suffering from a terminal disease who said he would prefer to be dead instead of suffering like this for God knows how many more years!!

You see? The only thing you can say on social media about suicide is that "LIFE IS PRECIOUS AND SUICIDE IS WRONG".

There's just...too much censorship. :(

Facebook sucks. I've never really used it, because it seems too fake to me. SS is much better.

Anyway you are totally right. Assisted suicide should be legal. Even for people who suffer from mental illness like us.

Yes! I can't stand FB anymore. I remember those days on which you could talk about whatever without being reported or censored lol.

Anyway, SS is the best! I'm glad to be here with you all!

Hi @WornOutLife . Matt I 100% agree with you. I live in the Midwest of the U.S. and here if I even say anything like assisted suicide, WOW crap hits the fan. I have 24/7 chronic pain and the right side of my body is progressively getting worse. If it comes to the time, it is MY and MY decision alone what I want to do, no government or anyone. I feel so bad and sorry for you. You are such a great person with a HUGE heart of gold, who thinks of everyone else so, so much. Now I know why I never joined facebook and never will. All my love and support goes to you Matt. Walter :hug:

Sorry to hear about your banning, WornOutLife. It's funny, but not surprising, how facebook will censor some things and not others.

I've only recently learned how intense the American News Media purposely censors any talk about suicide and successful suicides. I acknowledge that not talking about it reduces the amount of suicides (at least partially), but it doesn't address the issues many deal with and the pain we/they go through. Essentially, they promote suffering in order to make society not seem as bad.

Note:
In one of the previous paragraphs, I said: "then they'll inherently want (or need), to leave this life/existence, as soon as possible."
-- In this sentence, the key words that need to be deeply understood, are: "or need".
-- Ie, it's important to recognise, that this is not a "want".

Indeed, the freedom to move away from suffering, is not a luxury, it is a necessity, and moreover, it's the most fundamental of rights.

This is true, because if this statement was not true, then torture/rape/etc, would be acceptable, and legal.

Ie, if you believe that the freedom to move away from suffering, is a luxury, (and not a necessity, nor a right of the individual), then the following applies to you:

If (in the future), you are kidnapped, and kept as a prisoner in someone's basement (where you can't escape), and you are then raped and tortured on a daily basis, (and you want to escape from it), then other people can say, that your desire to escape, (ie, be free from this intolerable suffering), is just a desire, (a luxury), not a need, (and not a necessity), nor a right that you have.

Ie, the key point is, that if you do not have the freedom (right) to move away from suffering, then the perpetrator is legally allowed to keep raping and torturing you, for the rest of your entire life.

Ie, if society makes it illegal (and unacceptable), for there to be this charity/service/building, (which allows a person an instant/painless/effortless/guaranteed way out of life), then society is inherently saying, that it's perfectly legal (and acceptable), for a person to kidnap you, and imprison you in their basement, and rape and torture you on a daily basis, (because you (the victim), has no right to demand, that you have the freedom (right), to move away from this suffering).

Oh God, this triggered me so much. God, I hate our society. I just hate it.
Where's the goddamn compassion, why don't people just THINK, really THINK. The other day I made a post on a subreddit on afterlife issues and my post basically said that I don't want an afterlife of any kind and I just want to cease existing the minute my body dies and I asked if at least I could choose to die forever. I got a few downvotes and most replies were rather compassionate and understanding and existential-centered, but a user said it'S Sad YoU doN't aPprEciaTe YouR giFt oF liFe. They also said they were worried about me, but if they're gonna say shitty things among supposedly nice ones, I don't give a shit about the nice ones. Obviously this wasn't as serious as your experience, but it triggered me so damn much. I don't care if you're worried about me Karen and I don't care if you think life is a gift, MY life sure as hell hasn't been looking like a gift for the past year, more like a cruel, bad-taste, ridiculous joke. I WISH from the bottom of my heart for our society to destigmatize (is that even a word, lol) suicide and to have more awareness around this topic, so that people like us stop feeling all alone in a cruel, cold world and like outcasts. Love and compassion could change everyone's lives for the better.

Society promotes self-propagation but denies self-termination and punishes for it. People who have never heard about you suddenly care about you until you stop being suicidal because you are special and life is a gift but then you will never hear from them again. Most of those people don't care about homeless people or people with no hope, others lump them under a group of lazy people, judge them and tell to seek help to "pass the buck". The rest of people just pass by and feel pity towards them.

Egoistic and hypocritical, promoting their delusional world. It's all about how they feel, not you but lacking self-awareness they see the opposite. If they force life in unborn without their consent they can't force them against their will to live their lives according to their expectations.

That sounds like suppression of a legitimate legal view. It's not like you're saying Hitler did nothing wrong. Plenty of governments have evaluated such proposals. Facebook just doesn't want to look bad so they can make more $$$.

Because FB used to be pro free-speech (in its own private sector, so it's up to the owner after all)
But the European Union and the US Congress asked FB to limit it.
So you can see a consequence here.

Idk what to do for the right to die movement. Any idea?

Idk man maybe we'll have to wait for being 100,000 on SS so that society realises life isn't so precious after all.

everybody wants to "stop" suicide, nobody wants to actually be there & help suicidal people lmao. idk why it's sooo controversial to have the opinion that people should have the choice to safely terminate their life. same goes for people who are against legal abortion services...you're not gonna stop abortions, you're only going to stop safe abortions. same goes for suicide, let's give people the dignity and ability to choose. so selfish to expect people to live in suffering because that's what you believe to be right, you're not the one who has to continue living like this.

Your choice of words aren't inflammatory. Struggling to understand how you got banned for expressing an opinion within a comments section, about a video, in a civil manner. Granted; it's a sensitive topic for people outside of SS, but you're not supporting the standpoint that people should kill themselves on a whim.

...And despite this social media, and many who use it, will still cry crocodile tears every time they watch a video or read an article about a randomer who killed themselves.

"Please. Seek help! ...just not from me."

Either help suicidal people properly and stop turning them away, or if you do not wish to help: then let us die in peace - one of the other. But do not push us away and then turn angry at our decision to commit suicide.

It's either that or....

"Thoughts and prayers"

People truly believe that if they keep a suicidal person in their thoughts and/or pray for them that their ailment would magically go away. And it's amazing how many of these people exist in the world. Bunch of morons and yes-men/women who believe everything that is said via Youtube or social media and the Bible that they are given the tool to aimlessly use on people suffering from mental illness. It's all a sham.

You are right, why should our pets be treated better than humans. The society and people are stupid, they live in denial of death. We are all going to die so why should we suffer in pain and live until we are 100 years old?
