We tested Secret's anti-bullying system and it failed (fortune.com)

Is this even a realistically solvable problem? When I was a kid, the bullies didn't need social networks to make us feel bad, and despite efforts by the school I went to, it's not like they could really stop them.

I'm glad Secret is attempting to not be a part of bullying, but expecting any net effect from the effort seems misguidedly hopeful that people who bully on its service won't bully somewhere else instead.
