No, Belarus Is Not Cut Off From The Internet, But New Restrictions Are Still Pretty Bad | Techdirt

"So while it is by no means true that Belarus has made accessing all sites outside the country illegal, it has certainly made it risky, if not impossible, to buy stuff on external sites. Worse, it confirms that Internet users must be spied upon, and "forbidden" sites must be blocked; taken together, these new measures allow the government of Belarus to exert extremely tight control over Internet users in the country. Moreover, with these systems in place, severing Belarus from the Internet for real would be relatively easy, if its government decided to take that extreme step."

The internet should be 'hands-off' regarding the Government no matter which country. One who can't comprehend this or needs to make a justification or defence of it (in defence of a particular country) is a brainwashed fool.

I guess if I ever make it to Belarus that I just won't check my foreign email when there.

Thank you,
