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.
Ask.fm has announced that it will hire a safety officer to oversee the moderation of questions and comments on the social media site.
Part of a statement released by the site's founders, Ilja and Mark Terebin, said:
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Major organisations have withdrawn adverts on social networking site ask.fm following the suicide of teenager Hannah Smith.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.
