I think there are different levels of this question.
Media would say the biggest risk if you spend time on SaSu is that this suicide cult convinces you that suicide is the greatest thing ever. And then you kill yourself because this forum convinces you of that.
Personally, I almost killed myself at the end of 2024. And I think I would not have had such profound method knowledge without SaSu. At the same time, there are a lot of horror stories about failed suicides on here and one lesson of this website is no matter which method you choose it can all go horribly wrong and you end up in a way worse position than before. So think twice about what you do. I think it surely has a different impact on different people. And I think this forum had a pretty good development. There were crackdowns of extreme anti-life content. Me and some others wanted that the pro-mortalists have less influence on other members. I am not sure when this discussion peaked maybe 1-2 years ago. But the development of this forum was very positive overall.
Bottom line the biggest threat according to the media is you might lose your life.
The thing I worry way more about is the following. Is it illegal to be on Sanctioned Suicide and could we all end in jail eventually. I worried a lot about that when the NYT article was published I think back in 2021. I took a break of this forum but I I wanted to return so badly so I came back after one week. Nothing can compare to SaSu on the internet. I think some people probably did something illegal on here. Most likely if they break forum rules. And you could get in legal trouble for that. But how likely is that? There was a murderer on here and one terrorist. But the danger wasn't to be on SaSu for them. It was what they did in real life. Could we all get into legal trouble solely for having an account on here? I am not sure. I am not sure whether being on SaSu is one of the most dangerous things I do. Would they differentiate between how vulnerable the member on here was? Because on the one hand they portray as as seduced by the evil death cult. Maybe they want to get only a few bad people. But I am not entirely sure. The punishment probably depends on which country you live in. I could imagine the people in Europe could be punished harder than in the US. But the law enforcement probably knows the people on here already have a pretty bad hand in life, victims of several types of abuse is common. Which benefit would it have to crackdown on them? Furthermore, it would be very immoral because suicide shouldn't not be illegal at the same you have to commit crimes in order to kill yourself. Or you have to pay huge fines if you survive a train suicide for example. Overall, I think it is rather unlikely it will happen to me. Even with this risk, the risk-benefit ratio is clear for my case. I couldn't imagine life without SaSu currently.
Last bad not least. There is another danger. We all could get doxxed and pilloried on the internet for being on here. The same people who claim to care for us, wish us the most horrible things. This forum has a lot of enemies on the internet. Even if some of them pretend to be saints with good faith I have some justified doubts about their intentions. The conflict of interest is clear. Also the media bias. Look at scientifical studies about this topic in contrast.
