"buy a $35 raspberry pi and stuff it between your computer and the internet and route all traffic through it through tor? Too many zero days out there in browsers, flash, java, office" How does Raspberry Pi help here? If it routes traffic at IP level, it will be transparent at an application level. Firewall/IDS won't help against zero days either.

Indeed. People are wrong with such confidence these days.

My position is equal to yours: unless there are facts, it's a fantasy (modestly saying). Moreover, in this particular case there are facts which don't fit into the idea that Russia first experiments in Belarus. For example Russia has a regulation that personal info of user should be stored inside the country (LinkeIn was banned recently for not obeying this regulation). There is no such regulation in Belarus. If Russ…

thanks for the expansion. I would suggest though, that just because they did not try something first this time, would not constitute a proof that they never do, nor even that they often do? > So, it's nothing more than a conspiracy superstition. Well, we do know that state sponsored internet trolls exist and have done for some time. They are not always subtle, but that doesn't mean that they are not very successfully…

It's ukaz #60, an internet regulation in Belarus. It's different from the Russian regulation about storing user's data in the country and it confirms the countries progress in regulating new areas, like internet, independently. Everyone looks at everyone's experience, but it's not like one country is a playground for another.

Really? A cartoon about the Jeane Dixon fallacy is a response? I think you're going to find the next years very surprising indeed. Even now, using tor is de facto grounds for a wiretap[1] And I apologize in advance if my evidence is actually on topic and doesn't have funny pictures.
