The website is moving to Ireland and faces a battle to rebuild its image after being bought by US online giant Ask.com.


The chief executive of parent firm Ask.com insists Ask.fm can provide a safer experience, with better protections for children who use its service and reassurance for parents.


However, the controversial anonymous nature of messaging on the site is here to stay, according to Doug Leeds (inset), the boss of Ask.com.


In an interview with the Irish Independent, Mr Leeds said that locating the service in Ireland would help protect Irish children and teenagers.
