• askfm

First and foremost, what exactly is Ask FM? Ask FM is a free app and website that allows users to leave anonymous comments and questions on the profiles of others. You can sign up by creating an account on Ask FM or by logging in with your Facebook or Twitter account. The app allows users to easily share content on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Users can cross-post questions and answers to their Facebook and Twitter feeds, and they can even use the Ask FM app from within Facebook.

After creating an account, Ask FM users can fill out more personal information and upload photos of themselves. Make sure your child does not include any personal information on their Ask FM profile. The profile becomes public once the link is shared on the internet, and anyone can leave anonymous comments or ask questions. Users can also enter usernames and emails to find friends and search for people they already know.

Furthermore, once a profile is made public, users can "follow" other users and ask questions, but unlike Twitter, a user will never know who is following them, only their total number of followers. The site's home page is a continuous stream of questions and comments, and there are daily and random questions to answer. When a user opts out of the 'ask anonymously' function, they can choose to ask the question anonymously or allow their profile information to be displayed.

The main issue with Ask FM is the anonymous content and the lack of Ask FM monitoring. What is Ask FM doing to make the site more child-friendly? So, nothing. Because the site allows for unmonitored, anonymous content, it is increasingly being used for cyberbullying, sexualized content, and other abuses. The content is extremely easy to access thanks to the simple integration with Facebook and Twitter. To be honest, most kids and teens (and yes, some adults) have impulse control issues due to an underdeveloped frontal cortex lobe, which results in impulse control issues. Apps like this rarely result in positive interactions.

Ask FM has its privacy settings. To make the account less accessible and anonymous, a user can go to the privacy tab and select from various setting options. You have the option of not receiving anonymous questions. What email notifications will you receive, To keep your answers private so they don't appear in the "Stream," or to create a "Blacklist" of blocked users who can't ask you a question.

To block a user, go to the right side of each question and click the small block symbol, then select the reason for blocking and click the Block button. Once blocked, you will no longer receive questions from that person. Even if a user is blocked, that person can still view your profile and interact with you. Users can also delete questions from their profiles by clicking the cross in the top right corner. Furthermore, even if you are not a user, you can report inappropriate content. When you hover your mouse over a post on a profile, you will see a drop-down arrow that allows you to report the post for one of four reasons: spam or scam, hate speech, violence, or pornographic content.

One of the main issues with Ask. FM is the massive amount of anonymously posted content and the general lack of moderation by Ask. fm. The site has been known to be used for cyberbullying, immoral sexual content, and, more recently, dating violence. As a result, this website may not be suitable for children.

The only reason this is happening is because it was so simple to integrate with Facebook and Twitter, allowing users to spread Ask. fm images, picture uploads, and everything else that should not be happening on Ask. fm in such large numbers. Ask. fm was not designed to be used for bullying, but recent cyberbullying cases have been linked to the website. According to research conducted by the organization Ditch the Label, more than 60% of young users ask.FM confirmed that they were bullied once a month or more frequently on this website.

After logging in to Ask. fm, users can fill out more personal information and upload photos. However, make certain that your child does not include any personal information in their profile. Once a link is shared on the internet, it becomes public, and anyone can ask questions or leave comments without revealing their identity. Users can also search for people they already know, enter names or email addresses to find friends they want to connect with and send anonymous messages to them.

Users can also follow other user accounts from their page and send them a message. These messages appear in a user-specific inbox column, so everyone knows who is being contacted. Messages are also anonymous unless they are part of a private conversation with both users marked as "Friends" on the site. In these cases, even if users mark themselves as 'Anonymous,' their identities are preserved. Users are limited to communicating through questions and answers that are displayed in a daily stream or assigned to individual users at random.
