The Minister of Communications used a journalistic error as evidence of the dangers of Facebook
Russian Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov referred to the Habrahabr material to warn Russians about the dangers of Facebook. However, the article, based on the Lenta.ru news, was later refuted. On November 26, the Minister of Communications of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Nikiforov, advised Russians not to transfer their personal data through social networks, citing the Habrahabr material that from January 1, 2015, Facebook will be able to send user information to third parties.
