I mean, I get it but this seems like a pretty silly way of going about preventing people from self harming.

Like ‘oh you’re depressed and are actively harming yourself? Well we’re gonna make your life a whole lot worse and, potentially, fuck up your entire life and any future opportunities that you may have. No need to thank us!’

I think you're misinterpreting the title of the article, which is poorly worded. The encouragement of self-harm is the thing being criminalized here, not the act itself.

It's pretty vague though; it seems to include things like posting self-harm scars, which seems odd. At that point, there's nuance. That's not the same as trolls making "kys" comments (or worse).
