Over the past period of time, a lot of information has appeared in the media about the participation of the creator of the Vkontakte social network - Pavel Durov - in an accident that occurred in St. Petersburg in early April, as a result of which a policeman was injured.
On April 16, a search was carried out in the office of Vkontakte, and the press secretary stated that Durov was walking and had no car.
Many people are sure that the Vkontakte social network will not cease to exist, since it is very popular in Russia and abroad. It was created by analogy with American Facebook and is one of the largest projects in Russia. Initially, it was created only for university students and their graduates, however, today a lot of people of different ages are registered here, and this is more than 190 million people. The website has a daily traffic of 46 million people.
The network was founded on October 10, 2006. Then the site was registered under the domain name vkontakte.ru, but in February last year it was decided to switch to domain name international format - vk.com. The owner of the network is VKontakte LLC, in which most of the shares belonged to Vyacheslav and Mikhail Mirilashvili (which is about 40%).
The investment fund United Capital Partners (UCP) in April acquired a 48% stake in VKontakte of Durov's partners in its creation - the Mirilashvili family. Pavel Durov is the general director of Vkontakte LLC, whose office is located in St. Petersburg.

everyone is talking about it. hashtags vlivi. people believe it. you need to post this entry:
Since Monday, the VKontakte program will not be It will be completely removed! ((We just have a little bit left to sit on VKontakte!

This communiqué notifies VKontakte that disclosure, copying, distribution of my personal information or any other illegal actions on in relation to my profile on the social network is strictly prohibited

Recently, my friends on the social network Vkontakte began to repost a very old "duck" which has been about a year ago. It starts like this: “Since Monday old program VK is being deleted ... ”after reading the text of this message, I just smiled and forgot. But when I saw a dozen reposts from friends, it made me worried and write an article on this topic ...

To begin with, here's the full text of this post:

"The social network" Vkontakte "will be closed from next week, I will leave this entry so that my photos, correspondence, etc. will not be scattered across the Internet.
In response to the new VKontakte policy, I hereby declare that all my personal data, photographs, drawings, correspondence, and so on are objects of my copyright (according to the Berne Convention). For commercial use of all the aforementioned objects of copyright in each specific case, my written permission is required.

Everyone who reads this text can copy it to their wall on VKontakte. After that, you will be protected by copyright laws. This communique informs VKontakte that disclosure, copying, distribution of my personal information or any other illegal actions in relation to my profile on the social network is strictly prohibited. "

So, let's begin to parse the text of this "warning" in detail. (The article is intended for ordinary Internet users, so I will not use complex terms it.)

"Because Since Monday, the old VK program has been removed, I will leave this entry so that my photos, correspondence, etc., do not spread across the Internet. " According to the author of this post, Vkontakte is one program in which all user data are located, and when this program is removed, all data miraculously scatters across the Internet .... From the first words it is clear that this message is intended for people who are not at all familiar with the structure of Web sites. All data of Vkontakte users are located on the company's servers. All programs and even the Vk.com site itself only take information from servers and display it to users. In addition, there are many programs for Vkontakte, in addition to official clients for various devices, there are also unofficial clients who work to this day.

“In response to the new VKontakte policy, I hereby declare that all my personal data, photographs, drawings, correspondence and so on are the objects of my copyright (according to the Berne Convention). For commercial use of all the aforementioned objects of copyright in each particular case, my written permission is required. "

It would seem a very serious statement with reference to such a document as the "Berne Convention". But even here not everything is as honest as the author shows. "Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works" - this is the name of this document, signed in the 19th century and revised in 1979. Naturally, this document has nothing to do with Vkontakte and the Internet in general (it simply did not exist then).

VKontakte is now a public company. That is why all users of this social network are encouraged to post such a "privacy notice" on their pages, otherwise (if the notice is not published on the page at least once), you automatically authorize any use of data from your page, your photos and information published in posts on the wall of your page.

“Everyone who reads this text can copy it to his wall in VKontakte. After that, you will be protected by copyright laws. This communique informs VKontakte that disclosure, copying, distribution of my personal information or any other illegal actions in relation to my profile on the social network is strictly prohibited. "

But this paragraph of the message is just a lie, and not even covered up. And I'll tell you why. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the content created by the author is already protected by law and additional actions are not required to protect it (in our case, the posting of this message). The Civil Code of the Russian Federation, article 1259, clause 4 reads: "For the emergence, exercise and protection of copyright, registration of a work or compliance with any other formalities is not required."

Moreover, all user data are protected by the Federal Law of July 27, 2006 N 152-FZ "On Personal Data" and no additional actions are required on the part of the user.

From this brief "investigation" it becomes clear that this message is a lie, or in the language of the Internet: a duck.

German Klimenko laughed at the ridiculous spam attack on users of the popular Russian social network

March 6, 2017 could have become a day of mourning for users of the popular Russian social network VKontakte (since the end of February, a message has been circulating on the resource about its imminent blocking), but the next closure of the site was not destined to happen. Realnoe Vremya decided to investigate the situation and collected five facts about the problems of the popular social network.

Why won't March 6 be a "day of mourning"?

Since the end of February, a message about the imminent closure of the resource has been circulating on the VKontakte social network, and on the eve of the publication with the same content, spammers fasted at a rate of once a minute. In the test of the post, a specific closing date is called - March 6, 2017 - and the person in charge who made an official statement is Herman Klimenko, who, according to the authors of the message, is the press secretary of VK (in fact, Klimenko is an advisor to the President of the Russian Federation on the Internet).

German Klimenko has already commented on the situation to the press, saying that everyone is openly laughing at this message, and he is not a press secretary for the social network, which, by the way, will not be closed.

Note that even such a clumsy presentation of the message could cause a small surge of panic and increased attention to the news about the closure of the resource. At the same time, users of the social network were frightened by the fact that after blocking VK, their personal information will be in the public domain, and in order to avoid this, they need to copy this message to their wall.

Accidents in VK data centers and regular failures

Rumors about the upcoming closure of "VK" were notably fueled by a large-scale failure in the social network that occurred at the beginning of this week and lasted for several hours. But it is worth noting that VKontakte, like any other resource, is at risk of being inaccessible for a number of technical reasons.

In general, in the history of "VK" there are several major failures in work. One of the most notable happened on July 25, 2010: the site remained inaccessible for more than four hours due to a power outage in the data center. Another failure took place on July 27, 2014: then, as a result of an accident in one of the data centers, the site was also inaccessible to users.

On August 4, 2015, the VKontakte website remained unavailable for more than two hours. According to the company's press service, the cause of the problem was a physical break in the cable connecting the data centers. It was later reported that the cause of the failure was "a fatal coincidence of a number of circumstances." The increased incidence of VKontakte's unavailability led to the popularization of the hashtag #vkzhivi on Twitter.

Is Pavel Durov to blame for everything?

In addition to the hashtag, the opinion spread among users that regular failures began exactly after Pavel Durov left the company. On April 1, 2014, on his VKontakte page, Durov announced that he was leaving the post of CEO of the company.

In his address, the creator of the social network claimed that in 2013 his freedom of action as CEO of VKontakte was greatly reduced. He complained that the principles underlying the social network had become more and more difficult to defend and that formal positions in the current conditions were not interesting to him. Experts are confident that in this way Durov hinted at serious pressure from the security forces, demanding the closure of the opposition VK groups, censorship and access to personal data of users.

Durov sold his shares to the famous media manager and former CEO of MegaFon Ivan Tavrin, and the entire social network was taken over by Mail.Ru Group.

Not the first "closure" in 10 years of the existence of the social network

The upcoming "closure" of VKontakte will not be the first and obviously not the last in the history of the social network. In 2009, the resource was supposed to be closed by a court decision; in March 2012, Pavel Durov himself allegedly stated that "his brainchild will stop working, since it has become too difficult to manage the site."

In the vastness of VK there is even a thematic group called “Maybe it’s true, maybe not ...“ VKontakte ”will be closed,” in which, once a year or half a year, panic messages appear that the social network will be closed.

A hotbed of fakes

VKontakte is a fairly large-scale hotbed of fake news, not only about its closure. Like any social network, fictional stories of varying degrees are disseminated through VK, which, sometimes without preliminary verification, get into the media and are perceived by the population as verified facts.

Similar cases periodically occur in the Tatarstan press: literally last year, a local publication spread the news that during a fire at one of the industrial facilities of the Republic of Tatarstan, a huge piece of concrete ceiling flew away from an explosion towards the penal colony and, when it fell, demolished a watch tower with a submachine gun. broke through the fence and the restricted area, and the prisoners allegedly fled wherever they looked.

Lina Sarimova

Vladislav Tsyplukhin, head of the press service of the VKontakte social network, said that rumors about the closure of this resource are unfounded. "This is all nonsense," he added. On his VKontakte page, Tsyplukhin also noted that "some idiotic" rumor was born, which had to be refuted. The source of these data remains unknown, but the other day the rumor about the closure of Vkontakte again spread through the media and blogs. It is reported that the social network will be closed, moreover, a specific date is indicated - March 15. The authorities will close VKontakte due to the administration’s refusal to close opposition groups: we have already written how the leadership of "VKontakte" responded the FSB to such a proposal .

In addition, recently the founder of the social network "VKontakte" Pavel Durov posted on his Twitter microblog a summons from the prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg, where he was ordered to come to testify about the opposition groups "VKontakte", but he could not appear, because he did not have time to read ... Soon after, he sent a letter to the Lenta editorial office explaining his attitude to the situation.

There, Durov, in particular, pointed out that if the service wants to preserve the domestic Internet industry, then requests to block the opposition are not applicable, including because this means giving a head start to competitors, but he is not going to become an "icon of liberalism" and considers "talk of voting , elections, rallies and citizenship<...> a form of mass entertainment, along with talking about football matches and playing Happy Farmer. "

Perhaps the panic began after rumors appeared that Russia was prepared new bill, obliging to block sites (sites that "promote the use, manufacture, sale of narcotic drugs" and "extremist materials" will also be included in the unified database of Internet threats) at the request of the regulatory authorities.

League safe internet Together with business and government officials, she prepared a bill obliging operators to block sites with illegal content. The project has a good purpose - the fight against child pornography, but can lead to the emergence of full-fledged Internet censorship.

However, the bill is not only about sites with child porn - sites that "promote the use, manufacture, sale of narcotic drugs" and "extremist materials" will also be included in the unified database of Internet threats. Operators will be obliged to block such sites “on the basis of the decision of the federal body in charge of supervision in the field of communications to include the site in a single database of Internet threats, that is, Roskomnadzor.

The league starts its fight against child porn with Yandex. The search engine refuses to remove the corresponding images and links from the search results, explains Davydov: “We contacted Yandex with a request to filter such content, but the company refused, citing the fact that there is no corresponding law in Russia.”

We managed to agree with the search engine, but the social network "In contact with" she herself pledged to regularly clean the content, and the Mail.ru pages are moderated by special people.

They appeared in Krasnodar and quickly spread in specific circles. The story is this: elections to the State Duma were held, and one beloved party did not like the way the "fair" elections were covered in social networks. On Channel One they tell one thing, and in VKontakte they honestly write about cases of arbitrariness.

Is it true that Vkontakte will be closed?

Well, work has begun to curb unnecessary activity. Under the pretext of fighting piracy, they will first close the audio recordings, then take away the video, then start blocking groups and public places under the pretext of fighting extremism and child suicide. By the fall of 2017, little will remain of VK. The final closure of Vkontakte should take place before the presidential elections, that is, by 2018.

Experts were skeptical about the news. The fact is that Pavel Durov, with whom the special services could not agree on the closure of opposition groups, left the company long ago and now Vkontakte is controlled by a pro-government oligarch, so no one - everything will be blocked quickly and quietly. Secondly, there are much more Vkontakte users than citizens who go to elections, and the closure of a social network can turn into really massive discontent.

Vk will be closed for Ukrainians

The Ukrainian authorities believe that the Russian social network Vkontakte threatens the country's security. The arguments are simple and logical: Ukrainians are spreading dossiers on themselves, but they are stored on the territory of another state, which the Ukrainian authorities consider hostile. Do you need to solve the problem? It is necessary! Vkontakte in Ukraine will be closed. Sooner or later, it will happen.

Is it true that VKontakte will be closed on Monday?

No it is not true. The blow will be delivered at the most unexpected and inopportune moment, when the contacts will sleep peacefully. Woke up, lo and behold: and Vkontakte bye-bye. Where to upload your shit photos? Where to write all that nonsense with which Kontaktik has been filled for many years? Can you imagine the drama? The heart in a contactee may not stand it.

Vkontakte has already been closed in Ukraine

On April 28, 2017, the National Security and Defense Council decided to block Vkontakte on the territory of Ukraine. Poroshenko signed the decree. The document prescribes blocking access to VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Mail.Ru and Yandex. Thus, Ukrainian contacts go to the forest.

Vkontakte secrets

A selection of curious facts about your favorite social network:

1. Did you know that there are about but none of them give a 100% guarantee? Vkontakte is invincible!
2. It gets harder every year. Why do you think? The answer will surprise you.
3. Did you know that only thanks to this the social network pleases us with stable work and high performance... If the Vkontakte servers were on Windows, then the social network would have long been dirty with viruses and would have crashed in a day.
4. Experts tried
5. The most popular adult video in VKontakte is from Maria Evdokimova.
6. At her aunt's, She describes what torments she had to go through before the dumb VK admins restored her access. Shock!
7. What happens if you choose a password for someone else's Vkontakte page and log in? They will solder 2 articles of the Criminal Code at once and give a two-piece.

One and the same strange, in my opinion, question.
It was about a record that has been walking on VKontakte for a long time, beginning with the words: "Since Monday, the VK program is being deleted, I will leave this record so that my photos, correspondence, etc., do not spread over the Internet ..." and so on.
The question was: does it work? Should such public statements be made?

To make it clear to everyone what this is about, I am posting the entire text of this entry, and below I will tell you what it is all the same.

« Since the old VK program has been removed from Monday, I will leave this entry so that my photos, correspondence, etc., do not spread across the Internet.
In response to the new VKontakte policy, I hereby declare that all my personal data, photographs, drawings, correspondence and so on are the objects of my copyright (according to the Berne Convention). For commercial use of all the aforementioned objects of copyright in each specific case, my written permission is required.
VKontakte is now a public company. That is why all users of this social network are encouraged to post such a "privacy notice" on their pages, otherwise (if the notice is not published on the page at least once), you automatically authorize any use of data from your page, your photos and information published in posts on the wall of your page.
Everyone who reads this text can copy it to their wall on VKontakte. After that, you will be protected by copyright laws. This communique informs VKontakte that disclosure, copying, distribution of my personal information or any other illegal actions in relation to my profile on the social network is strictly prohibited.»

This entry has been circulating on the VKontakte social network for over a year. I must say right away - all this is complete nonsense.
Such publications have no legal force (as well as common sense). By the way, the origin of this "duck" has already been investigated and on some forum it is indicated that this was done at one time to promote the profile of one of the unscrupulous users.
As for the legal part, it is immediately clear that the information was compiled with the expectation of the population's illiteracy in matters of copyright. Let me explain why:

The Berne Convention (the full name of the document is the "Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works") is indeed still in force and is a fundamental international legal act in the field of copyright protection, but it was signed in 1886 (XIX century). The truth was later revised in 1979. As you already understood, it does not regulate any relations related to personal data, and even more so to electronic correspondence on VKontakte. This is the first blunder of the authors of our strange entry.

The second blooper is a statement that “ if the notification is not published on the page at least once, you automatically authorize any use of data from your page».

Any objects of copyright (photos, copyright records, music, poetry, literary works) receive legal protection by virtue of their bona fide creation by the author. According to clause 4. article 1259 Civil Code of the Russian Federation, for the emergence, exercise and protection of copyright (including literary works), registration of the work or compliance with any other formalities is not required.

The absence of a prohibition by the copyright holder on the use of objects is not considered a consent (permission) - this is regulated by Article 1229 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

What you post on your page, for example a photo of which you are the author, or your stories is nothing more than disclosure to the public - one of the ways to use the work, to which you, as the copyright holder, have every right in accordance with article 1270Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
And finally, let me remind you that just like the objects of copyright, your personal data is also already under protection without your participation. The procedure for using personal data is governed by Federal law dated July 27, 2006 No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data".

The same applies to correspondence, which is guaranteed secrecy by Article 23 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, without any additional statements on your part.

So, friends, do not get fooled by stupid antics and do not fill the tape and head with yourself and your friends with all sorts of nonsense. Better subscribe to useful news... I hope that each of you who have read this material, in order not to get into such stupid situations, will go

Surely many of the users of "VKontakte" have ever thought about what will happen if the social network does not become. The main problem is that many users have a lot of personal information, friends, and correspondence in their accounts. So this weekend, users of the domestic "social network" were gripped by panic when news came out that "VKontakte" was being closed, and the personal data of users would become public.

The panic was provoked by one of the VKontakte users, who posted a post on his wall, sharing with friends that the social network would be closed in the near future. To protect your personal data from being viewed by other users, according to the informant, it was necessary to post his message to each user on his wall.

"Starting from Monday, the VKontakte program will not be completely removed. It will be completely removed! ((We just have a little bit left to sit on VKontakte! So, so that all your correspondences, pictures and photos do not spread all over the Internet, throw this on your wall!" - reads in the text of this message.

The message spread very quickly on the social network. Mass publications on social networks began with hashtags # ReturnDurov # vk_live # VkNeStanet. To stop the panic, the VKontakte administration even had to issue an official statement that the site was not going to be closed, and the technical support conducted its own investigation into the spread of false information. It turned out that this action was just an attempt to promote one of the accounts of an unscrupulous user.

Despite all the assurances of the management, the prospect of the imminent closure of the social network frightened the majority of users who use VKontakte not only for work, but also for storing important data for themselves. The incident raises questions about the role of social networks in our lives. Note that this is not an isolated case, a similar situation took place on VKontakte just a couple of months ago.
