Belarus 317-3 -- The End of the Internet as they know it
Belarus 317-3 -- a law that will change life of Belarusian people. It will be forbidden to use ISPs and sites not registered in Belarus for email, banking, commerce, business, shopping, whatever, you name it. Only on sites and servers in Belarus. Only on machines and by means registered with the government. Only with data retention for one year even in private house holds. Only through filters to be setup by ISPs. With filter criteria defined by the government. Total control.

Update: The cbronline article is very inaccurate in that it talks about accessing foreign sites would be illegal, which is not the case. Doing business on and by means through foreign sites will be illegal.
