Ask.fm set to be deactivated December 1st

Closure Notice: the platform to be deactivated December 1, 2024 - About ASKfm

Owned by an asset management company that also owns e.g. online gambling sites.

No indication of authorship

Almost immediate, jarring, and lengthy tangent into "applicable regulations" and privacy policies/data handling

When we established the Company [emphasis on the capital 'C']

Definitely written by a legal team masquerading as someone who actually cares about/had any role in founding the platform.

I'll finally stop seeing its search bar constantly popping up on my parents' browser toolbars!
Who cares?

  I was more referring to OPs comment on how that statement is soulless. Unfortunately I only knew about this after reading it, because I can’t read minds. Who cares about corporate speech if they close down anyways?
