OR if someone did respond and say something like "lol do a back flip off of a building" and they did it before the site could intervene they would definitely be held liable, Karen not needed. This is the main concern. Because they've committed to moderating the site and removing content like that, they could end up being held liable if they failed to moderate it quickly enough and that was felt to have contributed to somebody's suicide. In practice, they probably would not actually end up being found liable in court unless they were really negligent, but going to court at all is a major hassle, so it's easier to just preempt it by shutting down talk of suicide altogether. --- This is my signature.
