   I agree that it isn’t the technology that killed this young man, but when you’re feeling that depressed, it can’t help to have others encouraging you to end it. It reminds me of a few years back, in the Seattle area, when a woman threating to jump from a viaduct, during the evening rush hour, was encouraged by the drivers to jump. They wanted to get home, but the police had blocked the highway, while they tried to talk to her. She jumped. Whose fault is it? Not the technology’s fault. Some of the fault has to fall on those people that encourage these lost people to die.

   Dear WebTVWire,

   well, it seems as if there is a total abdication of responsibility from those form members who “egged him on to do it.” There is the possibility that he would not have so easily without some encouragement. The technology is absolutely not to blame, but the use of it by the above-mentioned forum members for encouraging this most certainly is. Technology is morally neutral, people are not (for good or bad).

   I think they have to do it like this: Have a record of contact details for everyone broadcasting. Phone number and verified address. If someone reports a stream like this, they can alert the police immedately. IF you don’t want to provide that information, you’re not allowed to broadcast, period.
