An FAQ isn't binding. What does their TOS say?


Are you really serious? This is a post snowden society.

> An FAQ isn't binding.

Probably not, but please beware that this service is not subject to US law, but the laws of the Russian Federation.

> What does their TOS say?

TOS are subject to change, right? And even if it wasn't, do you really think the TOS will stop a company run by a russian nationalist[1] offering a free service with a million dollar bill will stick by their word (which, in this case is literally a single word)?

They are not registered in Russia, afaik.

That's just Pavel's usual populism. He says the same things about Russia or pretty much anything.

They are writing the software in Russia (right next to the VK's door to be precise), though. Source: local Saint-Petersburg newspapers.


Why isn't the FAQ binding, do they disclaim it elsewhere?
