The father of Hannah Smith, who committed suicide after being bullied on the Ask.fm website, has described the site's new cybersafety measures as "a good thing". But child protection charities said more needs to be done to stop online bullying.
Labour MP Stella Creasy has called on the Prime Minister to work with social networking firms to ensure all users are protected from online abuse and threats in light of the death of 14-year-old Hannah Smith.
Ms Creasy, who was the victim of online abuse and threats on Twitter last month, said:
"I hope the Prime Minister will join me in trying to work with these companies and the Labour front bench in saying actually there are ways we can do this without damaging free speech, without hampering peoples lives, but making sure everyone is safe online."
The father of Hannah Smith, who committed suicide after being bullied on the Ask.fm website welcomes the site's new cybersafety measures.
Major organisations have withdrawn adverts on social networking site ask.fm following the suicide of teenager Hannah Smith.
Maybe it's time we all had a reality check, to look up from our screens, lose the masks we all wear online, and look at each other.
