Belarus bans Tor and all anonymising internet technologies
(The Stack): http://thestack.com/belarus-bans-tor-250215
"In the wake of Russia's announcement that it intends to ban Tor, VPNs
and all other technologies that permit users to hide their identities
on the internet, the neighbouring Republic of Belarus has announced
[Russian language] that it will enable legislation to bring these
restrictions into effect. The ban was announced in the official
national portal of Belarus. The edict declares that any service which
provides access to anonymising facilities such as Tor and Virtual
Private Networks must be entered onto a national blacklist, and that
internet service providers will be obliged to check state inspectorate
lists daily for new banned services and sites, and to implement blocks
accordingly."
