This is not the only time Facebook has blocked this particular painting. In 2011, the social network blocked access to the account of a Parisian teacher for publishing “The Origin of the World.” The user sued Facebook. The teacher claims that his right to freedom of speech was compromised because the social network cannot distinguish between pornography and art. The plaintiff is demanding 20,000 euros in damages. The trial is still ongoing.

The social network Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, also has puritanical tendencies. In 2014, its administration blocked the account of American Vogue creative director Grace Coddington. To advertise the auction of nude paintings “No Clothes,” Grace posted her nude self-portrait. Just as in the case of Facebook and Eva, Instagram considered the image of the media manager’s breasts too realistic and blocked the publication.



After a heated discussion of the incident in the media and norway mobile phone numbers database social networks, Instagram restored access to the account and the publication and apologized for the mistake. And Grace Coddington posted a new drawing in response. She depicted two of her cats with the caption: "Wow, Pumpkin, Mom drew a nude selfie for her first Instagram post.

The Moscow government has been actively developing electronic city systems lately. Moscow is trying to become a "smart" city of the future. One of the Internet services that has appeared in the capital over the past two years is the application "Active citizen" It was created so that citizens could influence the decisions made in their city. theRunet decided to see what changes have occurred in Moscow thanks to this service.

"Active Citizen" is an application and a website that host surveys about changes in the city. Any Internet user can participate in them. To register in the service, you need to provide your phone number. Surveys are created by the Moscow mayor's office; users do not have this option. The answer options are also provided by the government, but users can leave their comments on some surveys.

In order to attract as many city residents as possible to the service, the project's authors introduced a bonus system. For participating in surveys, users receive points, which can then be exchanged for city services and goods - for example, parking clocks, tickets to theaters and museums, as well as souvenirs. As a result, in a year the project managed to attract a million active users who voted more than 30 million times.
