I don't trust that website as far as I can throw it, which isn't very far. I think it's a very, very stupid idea to reveal everything about your life (where you work, went to school, where you live, who you're dating/married to, etc) like that online. Even if you have a "private" account, it wouldn't take much for a hacker (or stalker) to find you.
Far as I'm concerned ...facebook could be to blame for some suicides...the way they twist what you say....or say you "like" what you don't.....I think a facebook chat room for depressed people could seriously be more detrimental than good....my advice would be to just get right off of facebook (discracebook) for good.
Facebook on its own doesn't troll the site for suicidal expressions, Wolens said. Logistically it would be far too difficult with so many users and so many comments that could be misinterpreted by a computer algorithm. "The only people who will have a really good idea of what's going on is your friends so we're encouraging them to speak up and giving them an easy and quick way to get help," Wolens said.
If these friends are close enough to know what's going on in the suicidal person's life, why in the world would Facebook even need to get involved?
The thought of Facebook preventing suicides is just as laughable to me as the people who think that they're promoting breast cancer awareness or stopping domestic violence by posting their B.S platitudes as their Facebook statuses.
