      When @netflix chose to release and promote a show about a teen who committed suicide, experts warned that it could to cause an increase in suicides especially among adolescents. Now, research finds that's exactly what happened. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2019/release-of-13-reasons-why-associated-with-increase-in-youth-suicide-rates.shtml …pic.twitter.com/me1QMTDxSt

      Look, school shootings and suicides and terrorism/mass killings are mediated partially through media exposure/contagion and how we handle them—on mass media, social media, all of it. The evidence has piled up. Need to develop and follow sensible guidelines.

          Hi "correlation is not causation" people in my mentions. That's not where science stops! Correlation is not causation except when it is. Correlation is the bedrock of causation. Researchers go to great lengths to identify confounders. PLUS this tracks with ton of other research.

          I presume the executives at Netflix were at some point informed that this was a possibility, and they didn’t care. This study proves it, but Netflix is under no legal obligation to care now either. Regulations would help, prosecutions would help more...

          Hate/anger and suicide is definitely contagious! Negativity is far more transmittable in general. Kötü haber tez yayılır mesela. Veya Ortaçağ Alman kiliselerindeki basmakalıp cennet tasvirlerine kıyasla cehennem, zebaniler, cezalandırılan günahkarların tasvirlerindeki zenginlik😳

          OK the need for guidelines, but who's going to work on it? What money?

          Those sensible guidelines have been will documented for decades. @netflix published knowing it would cause two things with statistical certainty: 1. Deaths 2. Profits

          When Fox News spreads misinformation & hatred days in and nights out, it’s viewers become ill-informed haters of the worst kind! No rocket science! @FoxNews should be banned & @rupertmurdoch should be tried & jailed for having caused numerous hate-crimes across the world!

          Suicide contagion is a known thing. Sometimes all people with suicidal ideation need is to get an idea in their head from outside.

          The devil is in the details Not sure how you police the media well Why not rely on public opinion and outcry, as opposed to governmental?

          And just look at your mentions to understand why trying to police this would be a 1st amendment mess
