Let me guess, closed source (client and server) using custom encryption.

Hope to be wrong in both accounts.

Are you serious? The KGB has full access to VK.

Or course everything that is posted on this shit service will be fully tracked.

FSB if to be more accurate

Or a fork of an open source project

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hard doubt. Unless it's a closed source fork
