Wow, I hadn’t heard of Belarus’ action – thanx. And to think that people can’t imagine this happening in their country.
Apparently the Belarus story was falsely reported by most international outlets, it wasn’t nearly at the level of restriction that was suggested, see https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/01/week-censorship
