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].

They're referred to as "web crawlers" or "spiders" they index pages for Google, that's how Google displays search results, and caches pages.

They're robots looking for information on how to end their robot lives.

My big fear with robots is at the core of this question ("What are robots for?"). If AI-endowed robots ever evolve (or are programmed with) feelings, yet another being capable of suffering will have been created. And if it's one thing humans know how to do very, very well, besides reproduce, it's cause other sensitive beings to suffer.
I already feel bad in advance for the poor sentient robots being used as sex machines. Because humans are obsessed with sex and apparently can't evolve enough to get past this obsession.
