@ColetteBalmain @ellie0tran @BBCLBicker Yes, but… the discussion is always about cyberbullying celebrities, which IS a red herring when we’re talking about nationwide suicide rates. The rhetoric is, “We need to stop people using curse words online to protect poor celebrities.” This ignores the suicide epidemic. @ColetteBalmain @ellie0tran @BBCLBicker Also, it’s worth noting that the biggest rise in suicides here isn’t among the heaviest and most involved internet users, at all. It’s among middle-aged and older people, and normally caused by isolation, depression, loneliness, and despair.
