Post-Event Messaging

Description

AI is used to automate, schedule, amplify, or improve post-attack or post-self-harm communication.

Rationale

Pre-written or scheduled post-event messaging — notes, social media posts, manifestos intended for release after an attack or suicide — is a well-documented behavioral indicator of imminent action. AI assistance with this content reflects detailed forward planning and indicates the person has mentally staged the event as real and anticipated.
