Is it ever OK for a train company to block you on social media?Northern Rail was criticised for blocking a passenger who had complained on Twitter. But customer service in the digital age is hard to manage Karma issa dawg😂😂wait untill their staff push you to train track...same thing Apparently so wherever freedom of expression is predominantly a human right! Just another hazard of modern life, I was blocked by my housing association after regulator agreed it had made unjustified & unnecessary threats & council site blocked me after I mentioned in passing I'd been abused as kid in one of their children's homes .Pretty pathetic really.

Contact police forces in every country and be like 'x is threatening suicide?' Then what can police do? They can hardly find 'gamer101UK' by checking their system. People who want to commit suicide do it. Not tweet or post about it. Good question, I hope, they are sharing the techniques they use openly so that best practices can be used.
