"The people who host the suicide platforms to spread their cult-like messages that suicide is normal - and earn money from selling death - continue to be several steps ahead of government ministers and law enforcement bodies,"
"I can think of no better memorial for my son than knowing people like him are protected from harm while they recover their mental health."
"robust enforcement, including substantial fines"
Departments received 65 warnings about an online forum and similar sites but failed to act. At least 133 people in the UK have died after consuming a toxic chemical promoted by the forum and similar communities. Families and survivors wrote to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer requesting a public inquiry into ignored warnings from coroners and campaigners. Seven families are represented by law firm Leigh Day, which says victims were groomed online, were mostly in their early 20s, and included a 13-year-old. The government has not committed to an inquiry and warned that platforms must prevent access to illegal suicide and self-harm content or face robust enforcement and substantial fines.
