What you are saying is "don't tell me how I feel", and I'm not. What I am saying is that I don't care how you feel because the internal experience isn't a universal one. Do it, or don't, I don't actually care, but don't come around participating in discussions about rules and policy for a world you're prepared to leave behind. There are actually vulnerable people throwing good things away, who might actually be helped, and those who the approach you prescribe (the status quo) lets down.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't tell me how to feel; I don't care about feelings about this. This is about rights, not feelings. I'm saying I'm going to participate in these discussions, because unlike you, I actually have a stake in them. Taking away information takes away rights. Rights that I might use, or rights that your friend used, or could have used to make the end less scary. In this sense, it is you who shouldn't have a say in it. Your friend knew what they were doing. You seem to argue only because of your feelings, basing your view around how their death affected you. Information shouldn't be taken away from vulnerable people solely to protect those around them, because they can't handle the choices of others about themselves. That's deeply flawed as a way to build a society. If you want to stop people from killing themselves, don't take away information. Don't advocate for outright fascist laws like the UK's Online Safety Bill, which this article is made to push forward. Advocate for actually making lives better. Making the world slightly more fascist isn't going to help anyone.

  Don't be ridiculous. People aren't on that forum for information. Suicide isn't a science. Furthermore, you're a fraud. You don't care about rights. Protecting rights is a constant sacrifice. If you're not prepared to stick around for the rights you think you and people like you are entitled to, you're unserious. You're larping as someone who cares. People like me will be around long after you're gone to fight to take away the rights you claim to care about. Additionally, you have zero validity to speak about how my friend felt or what they knew.

    Suicide is a science. It's hard to get a successful attempt, and without proper information people mess it up and end up more miserable than they started. Fascists tend to survive longer than the victims of their policies.
