  • 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].

The article says that interpol are checking our IP adresses ?? Does that mean theyre coming for us all ? I seriusly hope nothing bad will happen to marquis n serge
Doubt they will put me in jail because they'll not want to pay my healthcare. Denver folks, suicidal ideation ALONE is no crime unless one lives in a country where thoughts are prosecuted / persecuted. Exercise caution about advice or guidance you give and we will be ok, I truly believe. I'm not knowledgeable at all about how governments or law enforcement shuts down servers. DON'T PANIC. Pax

Interpol is just making the perfunctory statements required when a major international newspaper and group of grieving mothers says "Do something!!" They're not even law enforcement, just a coordinating bureaucratic body.

This. There is no international police effort (which is what Interpol is about), but just Interpol Uruguay doing PR statement because or NYT article. NYT put them in spotlight by accusing Uruguayan citizen. Interpol Uruguay had to say that they are doing everything in their power and all the other stuff.

Aren't there laws against publishing of defamatory content that could threaten the person's body or property without any proof or trial?

I hate how they keep mentioning / alluding to SN. Do they want us to have to resort to other methods?

I don't use VPN, why would I ?. How is talking about our lives, our fears, anxiety and possibly ending life illegal. We could contact any number of suicide heplines and that's legal.

Helping or assiting someone is something very different

Me too I mostly been lurking here but got worried over this. The truth is there's no legal case for any of it. I just heard the conversation with Kara Swisher. There's nothing that can be done like that it's all just theater BUT some of the tech companies might make it really hard to stay up. Not all of them though.
Im sure you'd be right but to be honest, although most members abide by rules, etc, i have read some postings that make me cringe with concern.
@Circles with the ice cold FACTS in here bro❄🏃🏽

the article backfired spectacularly anyway, so many new faces/fakes
Some comments on social media could be interpreted as aiding someone. Remarks like ' drop dead' , 'take a run and jump' or ' why dont you die' maybe taken literally by authorities and users alike .

There is nothing illegal going on here, I'm sure many authorities have already investigated this place countless times, if there was anything actually against the law here actions would be taken, but they have not and will not.

People have decided to commit suicide on their own, no one encouraged them, some place providing information about methods is not encouragement or a crime, with the laws in most countries, you can be assured of that. No one made them buy SN. No one made them drink it. That's a personal choice and no one on this website has anything to do with that.

If simply detailing methods was a crime, then the Wikipedia entry, one of the most accessed sites in the world, on suicide methods would not exist, for example.
