Thread: Belarus and foreign websites

Read the law.

1) Companies should use belarusian hosters to provide online services in Belarus. Nothing special, just developing belarusian internet services.
2) When using public internet services such as internet cafe, you should show you passport. If you visit some extremist or terrorist sites, state wnat to catch you.
3) And for state factories and other state sites there are list of banned websites (porno, terrorist, etc.). Also nothing special.

That's all.

No restrictions for private services. I live in Belarus and use foreign services.

Yes, they do. But, you really don't care as you have plenty of troll posts.

'Nothing special?!?' Ha. It is the companies' responsibility for having internet access at certain sites, not the Government's but if this law seems just for you, it just shows the amount of brainwashing.

"The tax authorities, together with the police and secret police, are authorized to initiate, investigate, and prosecute such violations. (Id.)"

"Also, the Law authorizes the government to establish and update the list of banned websites to which access should be blocked by Internet providers. The Law mentions pornographic websites and those that contain information of an extremist nature as examples of those to be blocked."

So, if someone is suspected, the Police can just bust down your door and take your computer equipment?!?

They decide what is 'extreme' too. Yes, nothing special there.

Not to mention, maybe it's cheaper going with a different country's host but I guess the State should decide where your money goes.
