Reply to comment by kkehoe5 in Encouraging self-harm to be criminalised in Online Safety Bill by speckz

Some people will always try to twist or redefine words to accomplish their goals, regardless of what the other side does. Might as well try to make good laws like : make it illegal to harass someone until they kill themselves.

Pretty sure harassing people is already illegal in the UK, and most of the world for that matter.

Well here we are with an article about encouraging self-harm being made illegal.... and a bunch of people saying it can't or shouldn't be done. :-(

Thing is, it is already illegal if done to actually harmful degree. So a separate law would be superfluous, or most likely an overreach of government force.
