But hey, it's freedom of speech, right?

You'll see a God knows how many people saying that it's OK for minors and others (people who are already sick) to access those same sites.

It's not OK... There are limits to freedom of speech and sites that help people to perpetuate sicknesses like this should be shutdown. I'm sorry, but that's as good as handing somebody a gun when you know they're going to use it to kill themselves.
