Belarus Moves to Limit Online Dating 12:01, 15/12/2005
Belarusian lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation backed by authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko that would crack down on Internet dating and online spouse searches in the latest in a series of stringent government controls in the ex-Soviet nation.
Authorities say the measure, which was passed 101-1 by the lower house of parliament, is intended to help halt human trafficking.
The legislation would place new restrictions on organizations that promote dating or that help match potential suitors with spouses, particularly via the Internet.
The bill also puts new restriction on Belarusian students seeking to study abroad or to get summer jobs abroad.
Earlier this year, Lukashenko placed tight restrictions on foreign adoptions as well as modeling and wedding firms.
