Pavel Durov, the CEO of the Russian social networking site VK, does not think very highly of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Edward Snowden instead is his personal hero.
Mark underestimates VK, Durov said Tuesday, addressing dismissive remarks Zuckerberg previously made about VK. He doesnt use it very much, Durov said.
VK is faster, easier to use, and has more functionality, he said.
VK is a giant site in Russiaoffering many features similar to Facebookand is regarded as the second-largest social network in Europe after Facebook. Durov made his comments at the GMIC mobile Internet conference in San Francisco, an event that drew multiple thousands of attendees from across the world.
The Russian social networking site gained some attention this past summer for offering a job to Edward Snowden, the former U.S. National Security Agency contractor responsible for numerous leaks concerning government surveillance programs such as Prism. Russia has given asylum to Snowden, who is evading capture by U.S. authorities.
At GMIC, Durov spoke out on the issue of privacy, and why its important that more companies, like Facebook, think harder about strategies like encryption and keeping their users data safe.
In this area, VK has been developing its Telegram messaging service, which it claims is more secure than rival WhatsApps messaging, partly because it offers end-to-end encryption and also self-destructing messages.
OtherEdward Snowden During a discussion with TechCrunch co-editor Alexia Tsotsisv, Durov called Snowden a personal hero for helping to bring more attention to privacy.
Hes had to sacrifice a big part of his life to let us know that were being spied on, Durov said.
Some conservative or patriotic Americans may see Snowden as a traitor, Durov said. But Durov pointed out that he knows what it feels like to be spied on.

The power of social networking sites is once again being demonstrated in the aftermath of the Oct. 15 earthquake that hit the Visayas.
Two accounts on Facebook namely Oplan Bangon Bohol and #Bangon SugBohol are instrumental in channeling relief to survivors in Bohol province.
Individual netizens have also been posting and re-posting information to hasten the delivery of aid.
They are also circulating digital posters with messages like Our churches may have have fallen but our faith is stronger.
Positive statements like this lift peoples spirits even as the ground continues to reel with aftershocks.
Sharing advisories when the earth shakes and right after a tremor is also a laudable act, but so is shooting down false information.
Case in point: The rumor circulating by text and social networks warning of an impending magnitude 8.0 earthquake caused pockets of panic.
What made it scary was the misleading attribution that the report came from TV 5 and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. (Phivolcs).
Cebu Daily News was barraged Sunday evening with passed-on text messages, and a re-post on CDNs Facebook page about it, along with the plea: Is this true?
Definitely not.
