The real story is how we draw that line and what can be done to prevent these cases.
Because its a new situation, and mentally ill people exist and will be using these tools. Could be a new avenue of intervention.
- Vaslo 7mo agoAgreed it could be prevented - don’t think Google should pay for it though. Tragic but not suit worthy.
- mattmanser 7mo agoWhy not? Unless someone starts getting slapped with fines, they won't put any equivalent of seat belts in.
- bluGill 7mo agoWe can perhaps say this is a first time thing, so give a small fine this time. However those should be with the promise that if there is a next time the fine will be much bigger until Google stops doing this.
- bytehowl 7mo agoIf I tell you to kill yourself and you go through with it, will I get into legal trouble or not?
- rootusrootus 7mo agoThere are definitely jurisdictions in the US (perhaps most or all of them) that have laws which say yes, inciting suicide is a crime.
- LightBug1 7mo agoThere are ways to get around that: "Hey, go drive a Tesla on autopilot"
- shakna 7mo agoPlace it under the jurisdiction of existing public speech requirements of a company selling communication - advertising.
