  • 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].

from my understanding, if this site is connected to the death of someone with an intellectual disability, the website could be held responsible for the death of that person. If someone has the brain of a 9 year old and is being told how to think in this environment, they might and will kill themselves. It's the same reason the site does not allow for minors to join.

Hm ok, but intellectual disability's vary. So I guess I'm asking what type of intellectual disability?

TBH, i guess autism? like where someone is 20, but mentally ages half as fast as someone their age. I am not sure however.

autism is on a spectrum, so it's different for everyone. Not everyone's the same.
alright, well i don't know what to say broski. The common rule here is "if the rule exists, then there is probably reason behind it"

The reason is as simple as this is how it is defined in the criminal code of many countries, that is to say that it is punishable to allow certain people access to certain resources.

La raó és tan simple com que així està definit al codi penal de molts països, es a dir que està penat permetre l'accés a determinades persones a segons quins recursos.
