BANGKOK, 19 March 2015 – Facebook launches its new feature that may help its users from suicide. This new feature will be available for both computer and mobile users.

Facebook creates the function to help people who are likely to commit a suicide. This feature prevents facebook users both with computers and mobile from suicide by cooperating with various suicide preventing sectors in USA and providing optional feature that will be able to tell that the user is in need of help.

To apply this feature, other facebook users can click ‘report this’ when seeing any post/status that leads to suicide and the system will offer options such as contacting the user or his/her friends and suggesting suicide preventing hotline.

Now this new function is applied to 50% of facebook users in USA and will be 100% in next couple months.
