I have long been (and pleasantly) surprised by the fact that content from Odnoklassniki is available only within the network and is not indexed by search engines. And now the "Classmates" decided to join the rest of social networks on the principle of "Now and they
counted you indexed."
In short (according to lenta.ru):
The first to start indexing pages will be the Mail.Ru search engine, in a week, user profiles will be available to Yandex, and later to other services. Search engines index only some user data: name, gender, age, profile picture and the number of communities in which it consists.')
The full text of the article is here:
Classmates will open to search engines.You can close the profile for search engines now in the settings (for free) - this option was added just a few days ago. In this case, your profile will be available only to those who already have an account on the network - so Odnoklassniki worked until now. Unfortunately, by default your profile will be open to everyone (i.e., the privacy settings change without your agree), unless you change it in the settings.
If you want to close your profile for everyone except friends, then it will cost 25 rubles / less than one dollar (this option has existed for a long time and I have closed my profile from foreign eyes).
What happens if your profile remains publicly available:
- at a minimum, your basic data (name and date of birth) will be publicly available with all the ensuing consequences
- quite possibly, in the future, additional data will be transferred to open access (for example, communities)
- in the worst case (since it is not known how reliably access to other profile data will be limited), everything else will be in the public domain, including photos
