I only add that "Owners of internet cafés or other places providing internet access must restrict their access to belarusian domains" is a complete lye. Cafes are only recording IDs of users, and that's it. So, noone would be able to conduct crime onlime from public internet. This article is yet another piece of stupid propaganda we already used to from the 'democratic' countries.



OK, I see you're from Belarus too, like me. Yeah cafes are recording only ID but they will get banned if they do not restrict access to the internet.

> Административное взыскание в виде штрафа (в размере от 5 до 15 базовых величин) может налагаться на должностных лиц пунктов коллективного пользования интернет-услугами (компьютерные клубы, интернет-кафе, домашние сети и иные места, в которых обеспечивается коллективный доступ пользователей интернет-услуг к сети Интернет) при нарушении законодательных актов об идентификации абонентских устройств и пользователей, по учету и хранению сведений о них, а также об оказанных интернет-услугах.

BTW, as of your 'propaganda'. Do you think our gov't has ever been fair at least for 1 second? They violate their own laws, they violate our rights, c'mon.


Considering your feelings and how you feel about uttering them online, have you considered getting the fuck out of there?

Get to European soil and ask for asylum. It is not much, but at least it is better than Belarus.


Yeah, I wanna get out of there as soon as possible. To US, Canada, Australia, Germany, or even Poland. The heck is I'm only 15 and can't move myself; my parents appear to be OK in here.

Anyway I will not spend even a day here after I'm 18. I gonna work for some cool startup also.


I'm from Belarus myself, moved to United States when I was 13 with my family.

Be careful though, to immigrate to the United States on an H1 (work visa), you need a university degree. I'd suggest either trying to immigrate to Europe (any EU country) and getting a degree there, getting a degree in Belarus, or perhaps going to the United States as a foreign student.

[Edit: s/college/university/ -- college is an American term. My fifth grade English teacher in Belarus must be angry at me for forgetting Queen's English that I was taught :-)]


My grandfather left what's now Belarus with his mother and several siblings (their father and oldest brother had left earlier) in 1914 and came to the United States. Every time I hear anything about Belarus I'm thankful that they did this. Good luck getting out, and welcome to the US if that ends up being your destination!


Oh, youth!


You're going to have a fairly hard time getting asylum unless you can show political persecution of yourself (unfortunately simple overall tyranny does not count).


Nitpicking: technically Belarussia is as much European soil, as Germany.


Geographically, yes, politically it is very, very far from the rest of Europe.


He meant the Eurozone, I think, and it is definitely outside the Eurozone.


Or he meant European Union, which is not the same thing as Eurozone, nor Europe. Anyway - this is nitpicking.


You quote in Russia have nothing to do with 'restricting access' to the Internet. I don't care about gov's propaganda, because I am free. I don't own a TV, I don't read newspapers, so they can't reach me.


Umm, pretending it's not there doesn't make it go away. That doesn't work in "democratic countries" either.


The english note says something quite different, as to the part you wrote it appends that businesses can alternatively identify, record and report all access to non-belarusian domains.
