RE: Facebook Looking To Apparently Provide Suicide Prevention & Intervention Software. Helpful Or Harmful?
Not sure about this.....they already monitor everything, I mean I could be just saying, "I've had a killer of a day" and a team of people in white coats turn up and carry me away. Not sure if this is an answer (these are just my thoughts) Sadly we (NZ) have one of the highest rates of suicide in the world. There are amazing people out there (NZ) who invest alot of time with those at risk, and it seems when they are taken OFF social media and shown other skills (bush, art, helping other, sport etc, they do really well. Again, just my thoughts
Very sensible thoughts there. Suicide is one of those untouchable words that society says you can't question. Anything sold as a suicide preventer must be good, even of the real goal is simply the tool to monitor and call the fuzz. Totally agree that social media is probably ironically one of the contributing factors anyway. Thanks for your thoughts from NZ @madein-hisimage 👍
