I would love to see it shut down. I don't want to go and see another child has killed themselves because of bullying on ask.

Ask me a question

ask.fm is the new Formspring amongst the attention whores of today. It allows people to anonymously ask you questions ranging from your favorite color to whether they'd give out 5 dollar blowjobs. It's major demographics are attention-seeking 12 year old girls, trolls, cyberbullys and bored nerds desperate to get e-laid. Every answer posted on Ask.fm is public, and you also have the option to post answered questions to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Not only is every answered question publicly available for all to enjoy, but it is completely anonymous to the people doing the asking. Which of course means at least 100 teenage girls have been asked to drink bleach, posts tit pics or jerk off some 40 year old loser living with his parents via the internet. It is thus of course unsurprising that the site has caused much butthurt and lulz to the online community

Typical q&a.

Harassment

The website really doesn't have a harassment policy because it was made for harassment. That said, after some high-profile suicides, next to every answer and profile, there are options to report and block users.

That being said, hanging yourself is always the best option.

Suicides

As of 11th September 2013 9 suicides have taken place as a result of harassment on ask.fm, gg.

   
“ 		 
A source at the Sun, which on Wednesday described ask.fm as a "suicide site", told the BBC it would cancel the advertising package which saw an advert for the paper's new online service appear on the site. It had said the men behind ask.fm were "troll kings" on its front page.
