Your page is blocked. Every morning, two-thirds of the world's population with internet starts with social networks. The remaining third does not leave the social network at all. Social networking has become a part of life, like breakfast, going to the cinema or meeting friends. And, therefore, almost the main nightmare of modern society is to find out that the page is locked.
Why is the page blocked?
There are only two reasons why your page may be blocked: spam or the dissemination of information of inappropriate content. Most users do not distribute pornographic information, do not spam, however, trying to open a page on a social network, they understand that it is blocked. As practice shows, the main reasons why the page is blocked are either virus or spyware programs that, without the knowledge of the user, are engaged in spamming. There is another option - the program launched a virus and you need to send the notorious SMS (a relatively small cash reward). But this action does not guarantee that the inscription “page is locked” will turn into “welcome”.
What to do if the page is blocked?
The first thing to do is to check your computer for virus programs. This, unfortunately, is not always enough. In any social network there is a function "unlock page". And if the user is sure that he did not commit any illegal actions, then further, as they say, a matter of technology. Remember that usually the social network notifies the user about the reason for page blocking. To unblock it, first of all, you will need the information that was entered during registration: cell number, place of registration (city), security question, etc. In addition, you may need to download a scan of your passport with a photo. The question of how competent such claims are is quite controversial. But so far this area has no legally regulated rules, so there is no one to present such claims. So the only opportunity is discussion and indignation in the same social network. Of course, after your page is unlocked.
How to protect yourself from such situations?
Unfortunately, this question must first be asked to developers of social networks. A social network should not allow situations in which a user’s page is blocked due to virus or spyware. The user should feel relaxed while on the social network, nothing should interfere with normal communication. And then, from which site you can download links and photos, and from which - no, it should not worry him. All this is the work of a social network team. If the network is vulnerable to virus programs, this means only one thing - it is necessary to constantly improve the software, thus taking care of the safety of its users.
