The Issue
People all over the world are getting bullied anonymously because of this website. The result of this is teenagers and kids committing suicide because of the words people are saying when they think no one can tell who they are.
Formspring is a website where anyone can make an account and post anonymously to anyone else’s account. For example: Sarah makes a formspring account because she thinks it will be fun and new. Random people she may or may not even know find her page and write rude, hurtful comments on it. Sarah has no idea who is attacking her.
This site has no boundaries and something needs to be done.
What I am asking is that by security I mean taking off even the option of being anonymous. I understand that people can change the settings after they make the account but most times people do not look at the settings/ read the terms of agreement before signing up for an account like all of their friends. It may be after the fact when they notice that. Once you see one hurtful message, it can change everything.
