> Are people not allowed to talk to their friends in the pub about suicide because the friends aren’t therapists?

I don't see anyone in thread arguing that.

The arguments I see are about regulating and restricting the business side, not its users.

If your buddy started systematically charging people for recorded chat sessions at the pub, used those recordings for business development, and many of their customers were returning with therapy-like topics - yeah I think that should be scrutinized and put a lid on when recordings show the kind of pattern we see in OP after their patrons suicide.
