  • 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].

I mean it escalates more and more. First the vice article now even the New York Times. I mean the NYT is one of the most influential media in the world. They did a huge research, probably leaked the founders of this forum. What shall happen next? There are international investigations against this forum. Sooner or later this forum will go down. I am especially concerned due to the leak of the founders. Can't they now be arrested because they do not cooperate with the authorities?
I never encouraged anyone, I never explained methods or sent sources to anyone. I told people not to drink acid or not to try self-immolation. Still I don't have a good feeling...I have the feeling it might could happen something huge to this forum.

I just appreciate the honesty on this website when it comes to suicidality. On other websites I never could be that honest and it really helps me to cope with my severe long-term suicidality. I am not sure what will happen next? I don't think the founders are guilty when we look at US law. Thanks to section 230. Currently I struggle A LOT due to several problems. I try to weighing up what is more important. The coping ability this forum gives me now or the troubles that emerge staying here.
I am often the type of risk-avoiding but I just feel so understood here. Here the people know how it feels to have suicidal thoughts daily on the mind for many hours. The alternative would be a pro-life suicide forum. Does anyone know such a forum? A forum without detailed information/ Goodbye threads and at the same time not fully anti-suicide. Or another pro-choice suicide forum which is not always in the media. I have met many intelligent, friendly and supportive people on here. I would be sad to leave.
I know it is not that nice to ask about a competitor of this forum in this forum. I am somewhat scared to get the same hurtful answers when I talk about my suicidal thoughts like in the past. I was member of two other mental health forums. I made good and bad experiences on them. Still I am not sure what I will do.

I think a back up private forum should be created until the hysteria dies down ... We might be lucky that COVID 19 is still a big thing because compared to COVID, SS won't be such a big deal? Maybe wishful thinking lol

Don't feel that way the admin has backup plan for cases like this, this has happened before, let's just stick as one. they are outnumbered. We have more than 20k users. When I joined there was 16k if I'm not mistaken.

If SS goes down, NYT can rack up another death with my name on it! This site is the only distraction I have from the HELL that is my "life" and it's not going to be replaced by me going and hanging out on fucking Facebook with a bunch of people who cannot and do not relate.

Like I said this happened many times, we just have to let go and carry on. There's always a back up plan.
You don't know how many of them are journalists....
Right now there are 800 plus guests online watching us.

I try to stay optimistic, hoping after some time people will forget about this and focus their attention on other stuff.
Honestly if this forum goes down I don't know what I will do, knowing I can come here and express myself without being judged and reading about how other members feel makes my suffering more bearable. The fact that here I found people whom I can relate to has brought me a lot of comfort.

These pro-lifers need to understand it is our choice to talk about suicide and also to end our lives, no one is obligated to come on the forum and also, no matter what we discuss here, ctb-ing remains the exclusive choice of each of us. Plus I don't think I am wrong when I say that most of us are still alive because of this forum.
