What is VK? Why is it popular?

29 April 2024

     VK stands for Vkontakte (pronounced as "voh-kon-tak-tye"), a social media platform from Russia. It shares many similarities with our Facebook, but with a distinct Russian flavor. Like Facebook, VK offers features such as messaging, posting text, images, sharing videos, and file sharing. However, it's particularly popular in Russia and some former Soviet Union countries. Additionally, VK has some unique functionalities not found in Facebook.

     VK is highly popular in Russia. It was founded on October 10, 2549 (Thai Buddhist calendar, equivalent to 2006 in the Gregorian calendar) and has over 500 million accounts. According to SimilarWeb data, it ranks as the 16th most visited website globally.

VK usage in Thailand.

     From what we've seen, VK is often mentioned in various news stories, mostly in a negative context. For example, news might report on the arrest of VK page administrators for releasing clips, or the arrest of VK owners for spreading false information, among many other incidents. Very rarely do these news articles provide details about what VK actually is.

     Looking at the origin and purpose of VK, it is indeed a social media platform within the online community. However, in Thailand, VK is often used as a platform to share adult content that violates the law. Due to this reason, there have been recent reports stating that some internet service providers have blocked access to VK.

     Talking about legal matters, many countries have laws regulating adult content production, but the specifics can vary. For professions like sex creators, it's widely known that they can upload images or clips through various websites. However, in Thailand, it's still illegal, according to the law, which states that…

- Trading, importing, producing, or disseminating obscene media is punishable by imprisonment for up to 3 years, a fine of not more than 60,000 baht, or both, according to the Penal Code Section 287(1).

- Importing into a computer system any data which is deemed obscene and accessible by the general public is punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years, a fine of not more than 100,000 baht, or both, according to the Computer Crime Act Section 14(4).

- Possessing child pornography, where the individuals depicted are under 18 years old, is punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years, a fine of not more than 100,000 baht, or both, according to the Penal Code Section 287/1.

What should I do if I need to use VK but it's blocked.

     Certainly, for VPN users or those within the IT circle, it's well-known that the necessity of using a VPN is paramount. This provides a sense of freedom in navigating the online social world. I'd like to recommend BullVPN service to VK enthusiasts, as it allows access to blocked websites or platforms, granting you unrestricted access to the internet without boundaries or worries. With this, you can use VK without any constraints.

     Due to the fact that importing such data or doing such activities in Thailand is still illegal, VK often contains videos that are unauthorized, such as leaked clips, obscene media, or content downloaded from OnlyFans. For example, in a recent case, VK page administrators who shared clips of a certain celebrity were arrested, making headlines.

     Many argue that the use of VK in Thailand is akin to harming creators who put effort into their work because it involves copyright infringement and does not help push for these issues to be legally addressed in Thailand. This issue needs to be discussed and pushed for in the right direction. What do you all think?
