According to available data, suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15- to 29-year-olds and quite alot of it has been committed live using Facebook and other social media sites.
Now, Facebook wants to leverage artificial intelligence to help with prevention. The company announced yesterday that it is testing the ability for AI to identify potential "suicide or self injury" posts based on pattern recognition from posts that have been previously flagged on the site in the past.
Its community operations team will then review the posts to decide if Facebook should surface crisis resources to the user. For now, the test is limited to the U.S.
In 2016, Facebook made some suicide prevention tools available to its 1.86 billion monthly active users: People can flag questionable posts for the company to review. Facebook will either suggest the person in distress reaches out to a friend, with an optional pre-populated text to break the ice. It also suggests help line information and resources.

Facebook as always been into the personal lives of its members but this is just low. Suicide is a personal option and people should be respected to air their grievances. Not all is about seeking attention from the Facebook police.
Pro suicide till I die
