Facebook announced a new program in the United States to help users who are considering suicide get the help they need.
The system works when friends spot a troubling comment from a user. They then can click on a link next to the comment to alert Facebook. The site will send an e-mail to the user concerned, encouraging him or her to call a crisis hotline or click through to a confidential chat with a counsellor. The service launched in the United States on Dec 13.
