Hopefully they've got some civil libertarian type organizations in the mix that can add some balance to this.

I do see some suicide organizations that would be helpful in a different context[1]. I am still thinking what I should think of this: http://dangerousspeech.org/guidelines http://dangerousspeech.org/guidelines 1) I cannot help but think of the lost opportunity in social media of addressing people who feel "outside". Things like this won't help at all (and will probably hurt), but it seems the greater reach in media and data collection could actually help find people to engage with so they don't slip into suicidal spirals. I guess there is no profit in it, and history does show some scary chapters when such things are done by people with poor intentions / power motives.
