Bear in mind that what will occur is that armed police will be dispatched to take the unfortunate individual into custody and transport them to a hospital to be involuntarily locked up in the mental health ward for psychiatric evaluation and it can be some number of days before they get a judicial hearing to attempt to secure their own release. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involuntary_commitment_internationally#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involuntary_commitment_interna...) By all reports, it can be a highly traumatic and humiliating process.
All this, based on some algorithm of unknown quality flagging posts for evaluation and reporting by moderators with no psychiatric or other medical training. And somehow this is supposed to be a good thing?
