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

You're not naive to think the enforcement won't match the crime, given this is in line with incitement laws.

But it isn't about self-harm, per se. That was a lot of wasted time.

Incitement is "In criminal law, incitement is the encouragement of another person to commit a crime."

Is suicide a crime? No. So inciting someone (adult to adult) to suicide is not a crime.

Whoa!

Your very narrow view of the legal system is... um... unsurprising.

You seem to like pretty arbitrary interpretation of legal language. No surprise.

If by arbitrary you mean read as written and supported by precedent, you would be correct.
