And thunder struck: your page is locked

Your page has been blocked. Every morning, two-thirds of the world's population with Internet access starts with social networks. The remaining third does not come out of the social network at all. Communication in a social network has become a component of life, like breakfast, going to the movies or meeting friends. And, therefore, almost the main nightmare of modern society - to find out that the page is blocked.

Why is the page blocked?

The reasons for which your page can be blocked are only two: spamming or distributing information of unworthy content. Most users do not distribute pornographic information, they do not spam, however, when trying to open a page in 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 spam without the user's knowledge. There is another option - the program launched the virus and it is necessary to send the notorious SMS (relatively small monetary reward). But this action does not guarantee that the inscription "page locked" will turn into "welcome".

What should I do if the page is locked?

The first thing to do is check the computer for viruses. This, unfortunately, is not always enough. In any social network there is a function to "unlock the page". And if the user is sure that he did not commit any unlawful acts, then further, as they say, the matter of technology. Remember that usually a social network notifies the user of the reason for blocking the page. To unlock it, first of all, you need the information that was entered during registration: the number of the cellular, the place of registration (city), the control question, etc. In addition, it may be necessary to load a passport scan with a photograph. The question of whether such claims are justified is rather controversial. But while this sphere does not have any legally regulated rules, so there is nobody to make such claims. So the only possibility is the discussions and disturbances in the same social network. Of course, after your page is unlocked.

How can you avoid such situations?

Unfortunately, this question should first of all be asked by social network developers. The social network should not allow situations in which the user page is blocked due to virus or spyware. The user should feel at ease, being in a social network, nothing should interfere with normal communication. And then, from which site you can download links and photos, and from which - no, should not worry him. All this is the work of the social network team. If the network is vulnerable to viruses, this means only one thing: you need to constantly improve the software, thus taking care of the security of your users.
