Spring Offensive, or Big Brother is watching you

Yes, there is a global word filter in VKashek.

Probably everyone has heard the story of the so-called "death groups"? I think if not all, so many. In one of the publics the discussion of this topic went down and one of my comments disappeared unexpectedly. It didn’t go without a mat, so I decided to check with the admin of the public if there is a customized Word filter. Word-filter was not. The admin didn’t delete my comments either, and I had no reason not to trust him. At that moment, the suspicions crept in.

It was experimentally found out that if there are four phrases in the commentary - namely, “4:20”, “Quiet House”, “I want to play” and “curator” - the comment automatically rubs after about twenty seconds. A private group, an open public or a group with one member does not matter. Replacing a few characters in the Latin alphabet also does not allow to bypass the filter.

In addition, Kontaktik rubs even meaningful and voluminous comments with the use of these words. It was possible to reveal that it can even cover a coherent text in several paragraphs with a large breakdown between stop words.

If you experiment for a long time, your page will be frozen and will be offered to answer the questions why you are suffering from this nonsense. So be careful in experiments.



The reaction of VK is clear, they are ready to go for anything, so long as our beloved Roskomnadzor, Spring and other benefactors do not forbid the social network. Due to the fact that the second package of Spring, dedicated to the fight against suicide propaganda on the Internet, is coming, Roskomnadzor and the administration of social networks helping to monitor posts, and even correspondence, will receive even more reasons for interference with privacy.

So far this is “I want to play”, etc. When the list expands, and what gets into it, I do not know. But the surrounding reality makes you wonder. If today information about “groups of death” is not acceptable to them, then tomorrow they may take up arms against any protest activity or journalistic investigations.
