A journalist from Odessa will sue Facebook for helping Ukrainian Nazis
Eleven profiles of pro-Russian journalist from Odessa Yulia Vityazeva were deleted one by one by the Facebook administration. She receives threats and insults. One of the administrators of the social network, collaborating with the Ukrainian Nazis, illegally transferred Yulia’s data to the “Peacemaker” website, where “execution” lists of dissidents are published.
In response, the journalist made an unprecedented attempt to prove in a California court the involvement of the social network administration in the publication of users’ personal data and their collaboration with Ukrainian extremist and terrorist organizations.
Vityazeva claims that she has at her disposal irrefutable facts, testimony, as well as public confessions of the social network employees themselves.
About how the journalist is going to beat the enemy on his territory, in the state of California, to a columnist PolitNavigator Valentin Filippov told me myself Julia.

Valentin Filippov: We welcome Yulia Vityazeva. She is Lozanova, she is the thunderstorm of Facebook, who fights the dragon and tries to chop off these bot heads of the administration of some divisions of the Facebook network. Tell me, this is not a battle with windmills, no?
Julia Vityazeva: No. Good morning Good afternoon. Yes, hello everyone. The fact is that the situation has already reached critical level, both in relation to me personally and in relation to other Facebook users. In fact, every conceivable and inconceivable right is violated. Moreover, this data is not used there, for example, for advertising or for some other purposes. This is the “Peacemaker” website, which is recognized as a terrorist organization on the territory of the Russian Federation. And the leaking of personal data of users, including Russian citizens living in Crimea or Donbass, Lugansk, and Russian citizens themselves, who are also in this “purgatory” there, is all a violation of their rights, and this is a violation of Russian legislation.
And plus the impudence with which all this is carried out, you know, impunity gives rise to permissiveness. Today they published my personal correspondence, tomorrow someone else’s. And it doesn’t matter who I am there, a journalist or a prime minister. We all have equal rights.
Therefore, here we need to understand, well, in principle, what we have already practically done.
Thanks to some overly talkative employees of the “Peacemaker” website, who did something nasty and is in a hurry, you know, “I’m in a hurry to share the joy,” as they say.
Valentin Filippov: Yes Yes Yes.
Julia Vityazeva: The background is this. All my accounts that consistently appeared on Facebook after the previous one was blocked, they were all deleted and blocked.
It started from the moment I took an active civic position, began to write what I think about, to say things that many people in Ukraine do not like, things that they are afraid of.
Well, in general, in this way they decided to eliminate, let’s say, an inconvenient opponent. That is, at first they simply complained about me, some of my publications were deleted, they sent me to a ban. Then they decided that you probably know how... it’s easier to destroy it once than to fight it every time.
Valentin Filippov: Well, they’ve already destroyed it eleven times.
Julia Vityazeva: It’s not just me, moreover. Our entire editorial staff of the News Front is constantly subject to repression. I think there are a lot of such people.
But the last straw, in fact, where this whole current story began, was when Irina Berezhnaya died, and someone Oleshko simply began leaving nasty comments under her mother’s post.
Everyone noticed this. Someone tried to block him and it didn't work. Someone entered into a debate with him, which attracted his attention. He immediately went to the user’s page, immediately posted the data, and immediately these people ended up in “Peacemaker”, because both ordinary users and not-so-ordinary users wrote comments under Elena Berezhnaya’s post.
We pulled this thread because, well, how is it possible to block a user?! It didn't work out for us. Moreover, in violation of all Facebook rules, he has three accounts at the same time, although the rules say that even having two accounts is prohibited.
(At one time, for having two accounts, I was simply completely deleted, one account and the other. That is, I didn’t swear or argue there, because this is really a violation of the rules).
Here, Oleshko has three accounts. Plus, after I published on my VKontakte page, a resource prohibited on the territory of Ukraine? an article about the suspicion that Facebook is leaking...
Literally, not even an hour had passed, the publication appeared on his page, plus he published all the data that was on the “Peacemaker” website, also violating my civil right to personal integrity. Then he wrote some more nasty things and made threats. But this is their normal tactic.
Then, in the end, I logged in, after all, I managed to log into Facebook from someone else’s account, they borrowed it. As a result, he banned this account because he is not ready to enter into controversy, he does not know how. Well, in general, he fancies himself a blogger, but his mental abilities, you know, are at the level of writing another ode to Poroshenko and leaking other people’s data, in general. All. That is, a person who makes a name for himself exclusively: “You cannot become famous for good deeds.”
Valentin Filippov: So, are you saying that this is a Facebook employee?
Julia Vityazeva: No. This is an employee of the “Peacemaker” website, who has a warm, close relationship with both Anton Gerashchenko and, excuse me, but this is the way it is, a dense network of agents among the Facebook administration, which he specifically admitted yesterday.
What does he have in California, in the central office there are enough Ukrainians who, as he says, “did not betray their homeland,” with the help of which he blocks the unwanted and inconvenient. He also has his own ends in the Dublin office, the European one.
And the person also openly admits that the main task is to push opponents out of Facebook. He says “This is our community, and there is no place for quilted jackets.”
Valentin Filippov: We must also be aware of this. Back in 2011, when Facebook went into promotion, I noticed this thing... A country in which Facebook suddenly begins to gain momentum...
Julia Vityazeva: Yes. Then something nasty happens there.
Valentin Filippov: A couple of years later, civil war begins. Ukraine was no exception.
Julia Vityazeva: But you want to say that this is normal?
Valentin Filippov: No, I don't want to say that this is normal or not normal. I want to say that it is so. That is, I understand why Facebook exists. And why do we suddenly demand...
Julia Vityazeva: Wait. Facebook has rules. You go to Facebook, they ask you: Hello, we love you so much, you have a lot of rights. And then it turns out that you have no rights, nothing. Oh, excuse me, which country is the most democratic in the world?
Valentin Filippov: Like which one? Albania.
Julia Vityazeva: America, which declares itself to be the conscience of nations. At the same time, this conscience of nations openly and brazenly cooperates with terrorist organizations and leaks personal data of its users. Excuse me, this is a violation of what article of the US Constitution?
Valentin Filippov: I do not know.
Julia Vityazeva: Well, I don’t know, but I know that such a thing exists. We will still look into the process of filing a claim in court. This is the first thing. And, secondly, when the Facebook administration writes that please upload your personal photo, please upload a scan of your document. Don't worry, your documents go over an encrypted channel, through all these... and no one will ever see. An hour passes, and a certain Miroslav Oleshko, a maggot from Kyiv, publishes not only my personal correspondence, internal official correspondence with Facebook, which is also... the secrecy of the correspondence is guaranteed and, you understand, there... behind seven seals. That is, he posts, and that these photographs, which I sent to Facebook for personal identification, are already on the “Peacemaker” website. And he, openly, is not afraid of anything.
I say again: impunity gives rise to permissiveness. And no one can guarantee that tomorrow the entire non-Russian-speaking, but Russian segment of Facebook will not fall under this repressive machine. That is, they are there...
Valentin Filippov: It will hit. That's why they lured him.
Julia Vityazeva: Basically, you know, we need to work proactively. I believe that such a hostile, openly hostile social network that violates all the constitutional rights of citizens simply has no place in the Russian Federation. Well, that's the truth.
Valentin Filippov: Yes, but you are suing to be free there.
Julia Vityazeva: In terms of? And then we don’t need it at all. If we don’t have the opportunity to speak out there, we are constantly blocked there. Sorry, what the hell are we supposed to do there then? They must make money from us, process our personal data and sell it to advertisers, and leak it to terrorist organizations. Let's start leaking ISIS tomorrow?
Valentin Filippov: That's what they will do. What do you want? This is what they came for.
Julia Vityazeva: Well, that's right. Why do we need them then?
Valentin Filippov: I do not know. I'll suddenly tell you something else. I recently came across this on Odnoklassniki. I don't use it much. I post all my video interviews on Odnoklassniki. I don't do anything else there. I only have three hundred friends there, not three thousand, not thirty thousand. And for some time now, on some of my videos, absolutely without any logic, “Video has not passed moderation” began to appear, and it was deleted. Moreover, it is not possible to refill it under a different name. And I began to suffer, on what principle does this happen? I never found out. Because even if they write on Facebook: You broke the rules, read it, you can write somewhere, but on Odnoklassniki there is nowhere to write. Just the other day, my interview with a senator of the Russian Federation was deleted.
Julia Vityazeva: I’ll tell you this, firstly, I was blocked there seven years ago, so I don’t swim there at all.
Valentin Filippov: And this is our network!
Julia Vityazeva: I know, but the fact is that the enemies do not sleep.
Valentin Filippov: Well, yes. Enemies are everywhere.
Julia Vityazeva: Despite the fact that it is prohibited in Ukraine, in the same “Peacemaker” there are all my screenshots from VK, all of them... We found this old page, forgotten, abandoned from Odnoklassniki.
In principle, to create the same Facebook, only Russian, ours, in which there will be our rules, this will be our field, a battlefield. They too, they will still come running, they will come here to us.
Valentin Filippov: I have another question. If we cannot protect ourselves on the same Odnoklassniki, which is considered a deeply Russian resource. And, moreover, I'll tell you. Many people told me that the same Maidan, so to speak, was administered and coordinated not only with the help of Facebook, but also, in many ways, with the help of Vkontakte.
Julia Vityazeva: That’s right, because the blocking of all these extremist groups, in my opinion, is still not completed there on VKontakte.
Valentin Filippov: Well, VKontakte is, in my opinion, the only social network where porn is freely available.
Julia Vityazeva: I'll tell you this, well, porn is okay. Compared to a revolution, this is not the worst thing that can happen in life. I'll explain something else to you. Many people you talk to don’t want to leave Facebook... Well, for the time being, nothing threatens us all. This especially applies to citizens of Ukraine who are still trying to sit, excuse me, with one butt on two chairs, and think that they will not come to them. They only periodically ask: “What, will there be pogroms?” They will be, they will be, they will definitely be. Moreover, not even on a national basis. They will beat everyone, not on their passports, but on the face.
Well, regarding the creation of our alternative network, this is clearly not a question for me, because, thank God, I have something to do. I want to punish you. First of all, I want to punish Facebook for being... for being dishonest in the first place.
It is clear that dishonesty is not an argument for the court. When we prepare the application, I will inform everyone. The facts are clear. After I wrote a complaint, I sent all Oleshko’s screenshots there and asked me to explain on what basis my personal correspondence became public knowledge, on what basis one of the administrators with whom I corresponded deceived me, saying that I was blocked because for violating the rules, that I sent spam there or something else...
Although Oleshko admits that he simply asked to be blocked, and his request was fulfilled. And they answered me again in a standard form: your account has been deleted forever, you are sending out advertising. Yes, they don’t really bother there!
Valentin Filippov: Have you sent out anything?
Julia Vityazeva: No. I can put up a photo of Poroshenko and write a sarcastic comment on it. What kind of advertising? Therefore, there is frankly obvious work here, a one-sided game.
It is clear that Zuckerberg is not personally involved in this. He's just sitting there, skimming the cream off his work. But there are such maggots sitting there, I don’t even rule out that they are either Ukrainians or their sympathizers, there are plenty of them everywhere, who are simply taking advantage of their official position...
He’s there in his little place, in his little window, the king and god: I want to execute him, I want my sweetheart, I want to laugh at the photo, I want to give a scan of my passport to someone. Because, in principle, it’s a mess everywhere.
Valentin Filippov: OK then. Will you go to court in America?
Julia Vityazeva: Well, of course. Litigation in California. And when they created their resource, they wrote in small, small letters at the end of their rules that all claims in court are considered only in the court of the state of California.
No, if I could go to the Basmanny Court of the Hero City of Moscow, you understand.
Well, thank God, in America we also have friends, acquaintances, and relatives who will help us.
Valentin Filippov: Well, we are Odessa residents.
Julia Vityazeva: Of course. Who will help us organize all this. And, of course, all this will not happen for one day either. But the chicken pecks at the grain. I just want to punish. To punish for impudence, for lying, and for the fact that such activities are being carried out against my country, one, the former and now Russia, and, moreover, absolutely brazen and undisguised. And, at the same time, they are at every step, and who is violating rights: Chechen gays in Russia, you know, some sectarians, you know, they are constantly looking there for what Russia has violated... At the same time, they themselves are brazenly violating rights.
Moreover, I’m telling you, I don’t rule out that it’s not just Russians. In the same Syria, in the same Libya, in other countries. That is, somewhere, there is some hint of, excuse me, an attempt to spit against the wind, and that’s it, you are immediately removed. I think that if you just throw out a cry, there will be at least a couple of million offended people all over the world.
Look, the “Peacemaker” website is the same. He wrote another article there. And he immediately translated it. For our, he says, Arab friends, we translate it into Arabic. What Arab friends? And the fact that “Peacemaker” contains a complete list of the Russian Aerospace Forces that are in Syria?!
It’s not just that Yulia Vityazeva was offended. Okay, I can stand up for myself there, bark and say that that Oleshko will fall down and never get up again. The matter is, in fact, of great importance. Because lists of journalists who travel around the world are merged. Well, you know, tomorrow some schizophrenic will see someone there and say something: oh, this is a journalist from Russia. There are people who are inadequate. Moreover, “The Peacemaker” openly calls for the fact that those who are in our purgatory will all burn in hell.
And they’re not just there: oh, they’ll simply ban you from entering Europe. Just think, Poland doesn’t allow them to enter Europe. No. They are just pushing the topic...
That is, on the one hand, this is a severe form of schizophrenia, and on the other hand, they deliberately instill... they constantly hammer into their heads... They all have a clear mission. I’m telling you, this is not 1943, when the war was fought on the battlefields. Now there is an information war, a war for minds. And Ukrainian minds, unfortunately, have already been lost forever. Because, given what is happening there, there is no longer a lobotomy, nothing will help.
Valentin Filippov: Okay, Yul. In general, I am ready to support you in your struggle. If necessary, I will even give some testimony.
Julia Vityazeva: In California State Court.
Valentin Filippov: Maybe I’ll go to California, yes.
Well, now I can say my opinion that I, of course, want your struggle to be crowned with success.
But I would like to get to them, after all, with my hands.
Julia Vityazeva: Gerashchenko wrote that we are launching this separator there, a rodoscope, whatever it’s called. He wrote that “in collaboration with one of the largest social networks.” That is, with her help. That is, he didn’t name her, but it’s clear that it’s not Odnoklassniki. We have Gerashchenko for Avakov, we have Avakov for Poroshenko, and we have Poroshenko for the Washington Regional Committee. As a matter of fact, that’s what needed to be proven.
And the last thing I want to say, addressing the audience who are watching us. Don't let your guard down. It’s better to use pigeon mail if you want to send something important to someone, really. Because then you will be surprised to find out.
You know, information is not only political, but then: I was robbed, and my car was stolen, and I had this, and I had that. Therefore, guys, vigilance and vigilance again. The times of stagnation, when you could not worry about anything at all, are over.
Therefore, I once again call on all supporters. No personal information. I never had a photo on my profile, I never even displayed a photo of my dog. Well, I didn’t want them to look at her. Not to mention photographs of your children, your apartment, and some corners there. You see, my instincts did not deceive me, not in vain. Therefore, don’t even show aquarium fish. Because, over time, they can be used against you.
Valentin Filippov: Thanks for the warning. You ate the dog in this case.
Julia Vityazeva: And not just one. Our cause is just.
Valentin Filippov: Victory will be ours. And after the victory they asked not to borrow.
