Belarus Cracks Down On VKontakte
decora writes "On several recent Wednesdays, Russian language social networking site Vkontakte has been blocked by the government of Belarus. The blocks are partly to prevent the organization of 'Silent Protests,' in which citizens gather in city squares, and clap in protest against president Alexander Lukashenko. The government has designated the people involved as "social network revolutionaries" and charged many with disorderly conduct.

According to Charter 97, the regime has even set up fake proxy servers to capture the unwitting; Tor is the suggested solution."
