Censorship in Belarus

Censorship in Belarus involves the government controlling or restricting access to information, media, and communication channels that could criticize or challenge those in power. This includes blocking websites, shutting down independent media outlets, and monitoring online activity. The aim is to limit public awareness of dissenting views and maintain authority, often at the expense of freedom of speech and press. Such measures restrict citizens’ ability to access diverse viewpoints, shaping public perception and suppressing political opposition.
