Russia, China, Belarus: How dictators rebuilt the internet | Eastern Express

Authoritarian governments are transforming the internet into an infrastructure of surveillance, censorship, and political control. Russia is restricting foreign platforms while promoting the state-backed MAX messenger as part of its increasingly isolated digital ecosystem. China’s Great Firewall demonstrates how a commercially active online world can remain tightly monitored and politically enclosed. Belarus has expanded a nationwide camera network, while Chinese technology has contributed to the country’s surveillance capabilities. Eastern Express examines how digital convenience can become the foundation of a digitized cage.
