I don't mean to be a weekend psychiatrist, but sending the girl who committed suicide pictures of hangings -- consistently -- seems unhealthy, or at least unethical to me. The father spoke about "helping to kill" his daughter, and the social media being "partly responsible". I agree with that phrasing: they're not wholly responsible, as much as I don't believe that everyone who plays shooter games becomes a real-life killer. But there seems a clear (to me, again, not a subject matter expert) that there is a correlation, and if you get your social media in front of a few billion people, the numbers add up and you can't just absolve yourself of all responsibility. We have to look after each other, take care of the weaker and more vulnerable.
