   I'm not sure about suicide but your privacy murder has already happened.   
    Your life IS online. The bits and bytes are there. You cannot avoid it   
    unless perhaps you break the law or live in a cave. Various government   
    agencies alone have quite a stash on you. And of course there are your   
    recent medical additions. And I won't repeat the numerous day to day stuff   
    that we all do that contributes to our online files. In most cases humans   
    can and do have access to them. I'll bet Google can even find some stuff on   
    you...  8-O
