It Is Now Illegal To Visit A Foreign Website In Belarus ⇢

According to the US Library of Congress, the Republic of Belarus has just recently published a law making it illegal for Belarusian citizens and residents access and/or use foreign websites (particularly for commercial purposes). Violations of the law are recognized as a misdemeanor and result in a charge of up to $125.

This is unfortunately the next natural step for a totalitarian regime like the one in Belarus. It is however consistent with the global trend that open and borderless communication threatens hierarchic authorities and therefore will be restricted.
