HISTORY OF ASK.FM
 Ask.fm is one of the Internets biggest social networks. It also
happens to be one of the least understood.
 Ask.fm is a global social networking site where users create profiles
and can send each other questions, with the option of doing so
anonymously.
 It was founded in 2010, as a rival to formspring which was once
very popular.
 The founder of ask.fm are Mark and Ilya Terebin.
 The site has grown to 120 million registered users around the world,
with 15 million in the United States alone.
 Most of the users are from the young generation, mostly under 17
years old.
 It is best known for unflattering attention. Its critics call it an incubator
for cyberbullying and even suicide. A girl is said to have hanged
herself because of the site.
 About 700 posts made a second.
 It has since overtaken the latter in terms of worldwide traffic
generated with 150 million monthly unique users as of March 2015.
 The site was later purchased by Ask.com in August 2014 with the
intention to "focus on turning around the philosophy of the
company and putting trust and safety first. Since the acquisition of
bullying and suicide cases, the company has made a number of
changes toward its goal of improving the safety of its users and to
be more user-friendly.
 Ask.fm has since launched its first-ever Safety Advisory Board of
which John Carr OBE, Anne Collier, Marsali Hancock, Dr. Brian O'Neill
and Dr. Justin Patchin are board members, as well as a new Safety
Center which includes specific tools, tips and guidance for teens,
teachers, parents and law enforcement.
 In February 2015, under the direction of Chief Trust and Safety
Officer Catherine Teitelbaum, Ask.fm sponsored its first Safer Internet
Data and launched a campaign called #nobullies to show
awareness of the company's new policy of no bullying accepted.
