RE: Facebook Looking To Apparently Provide Suicide Prevention & Intervention Software. Helpful Or Harmful?

in #life7 years ago

I think there's gonna be lots of false alarms and few legitimate ones. Most times even closest people to ones who commit suicide can't see it. Plus that, in many cases people get triggered instantly by some kind of a nervous breakdown. However, I think Facebook is in the right path. Not enough attention is given to this issue and even if this project fails, it's gonna lead into something better. At least I hope so.

That's a good point. Issues of privacy and invasion aside, awareness is an orthogonal consideration and I agree, an important one. It's got us talking about it here for example! Thanks for the contribution 😊
