Belarus: New Internet Regulations  · Global Voices
Alexey Sidorenko

New Internet regulations in Belarus provide the government with new forms of control: compulsory registration of all websites (and compulsory hosting in Belarus), collection of personal data of Internet cafe users. As ej.by suggests, the new regulations will automatically criminalize all foreign-based resources (and especially those of the opposition), as well as de-popularize the Belarusian Internet segment among users.
