Yes, from what the programme said they might casually search about depression or wonder how people kill themselves. The algorithm then starts serving up material like this in the same way as it would if someone searched something about a particular flower or a band.
Then, because they are depressed and thinking about suicide they become encouraged to harm themselves. Ian Russell said that his daughter didn't stand a chance after this started happening.
