[liberationtech] Death by Dollars: How Money Censors Online - Digital Report

[Rafal Rohozinski]

Internet users in Belarus and Russia will soon see access to many of their
favourite resources threatened. The government will not be the censor this
time, but rather the economic crisis will serve sufficient, forcing editors
to impose financial restrictions to help their projects to stay solvent.
The worsening economic situation in the three countries is forcing projects
to close down and journalists to seek new work to feed their families. In
short, online media is suffering largely because it does not have the
resources to continue as an industry.
