Hello again my readers,There is a subject which is quite difficult to discuss, it's a recent thing but it's extremely serious.
As we all know, Ask.fm is a website that allows users to register (or not to register to comment) an account and allow people to ask them questions; these questions can be done anonymously by other people or by themselves but they can also log in to see who posted a question if they are also registered to ask.fm.
Lately, a girl was bullied so much on Ask.fm that she sadly decided to take her own life. Ask.fm are outraged at how cruel people were being on her page, and as a response to this, they have decided to make their report features more visible. Whilst this isn't a very good solution to a young girl losing her life, they said that if a report is made, it's going to track the person's IP address and block it if it's found to be harassing in an ill manner.
Does a girl taking her own life really make them see clearly now? Surely with a system like that, they would have made it more visible at the very start of the website... My thoughts go to the family.
