Summary
Research paper discussing the links between social media and suicide as a public health issue, and the legal and ethical concerns of using sensitive data for 'suicide detection algorithms' by e.g., Facebook. The deployment of such algorithms may lead to wider harms, and should be regulated in the same way as any research involving humans.
