Ask.fm, the social networking site which has been linked to teen suicides, has been bought by IAC, the owners of brands such as Tinder, Vimeo and The Daily Beast. It says millions of dollars will be invested to make the site safer for users. The website, which has about 180 million monthly users, came under fire last year when teen Hannah Smith took her own life after being bullied on the platform. The founders of Ask.fm, brothers Ilja and Mark Terebin, will now leave the company.
