Spring Offensive, or Big Brother is watching you

Yes, there is a global word filter in VK.

Probably everyone heard the story about the so-called "death groups"? I think, if not all, so many. In one of the public discussions on this topic started and one of my comments suddenly disappeared. It could not do without a mat, so I decided to check with the administrator of the public if there is a configured word filter. There was no word filter. The admin didn’t delete my comment either, and I had no reason not to trust him. At that moment suspicions crept in.



It was experimentally found that if there are four phrases in the comment — 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 participant does not matter. Replacing several characters with the Latin alphabet also does not allow you to bypass the filter.

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

If you experiment for a long time, then your page will be frozen and will be asked to answer questions why you suffer from this nonsense. So be careful in experimenting.



The reaction of VK is understandable, they are ready to do anything, if only our beloved Roskomnadzor, Yarovaya and other benefactors do not prohibit the social network. Due to the fact that, in essence, the second package of Yarovaya, dedicated to the fight against propaganda of suicide on the Internet, Roskomnadzor and social network administrations that help monitor posts, and even correspondence, will receive even more reasons to intervene in private life.

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 think. If today they are not pleased with information about "death groups", then tomorrow they can take up arms against any protest activity or journalistic investigations.
