Russian social media network VKontake has possibly made the dreams of many users come true after it allowed them to remain “anonymous” for a day. The event was dedicated to mark Guy Fawkes Night.
“The rules are simple. Everyone can write an anonymous post which will appear on his [VKontakte] friends’ timeline. It would not be easy to track down the author – we hid not only his name and his profile picture, but also the names of those who liked the post,” VKontakte said in an official statement on Sunday.
November 5 was Bonfire Night, a commemoration of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Guy Fawkes, the infamous English Catholic behind it, was caught and tortured for planning to assassinate King James I.
