In addition to the news area, TUT.BY has numerous specialist areas (car, lady, finance, posting, real estate, sport, etc.) and services such as weather reports, exchange rates, etc. The editorial standard claims to set socially important priorities.

TUT.BY was registered as an online medium on January 21, 2019.

Conflicts with the government and role in the democracy movement

Jury Zisser, owner of TUT.BY, financially supported Belarusian opposition groups and thus drew the anger of President Aljaksandr Lukashenka . He financed the "Freedom of Thought Prize", which was awarded at the birthplace of the Belarusian poet Wassil Bykau in Bychki ( Vitebskaya Woblasz ).

In connection with research on the European Games in 2019 , a state committee of inquiry ordered the imprisonment of some employees of TUT.BY and other media workers because they had unauthorized access to information from the state news agency BelTA .

TUT.BY established itself as one of the few independent media outlets during the 2020 Belarusian democracy movement protests . The portal reported in detail on the kidnapping of the opposition leader Maryja Kalesnikawa and the lawyer Maxim Snak .

On September 25, 2020 it became known that the Belarusian government wanted to withdraw the portal's registration as a medium at the instigation of the Ministry of Information. The court session on the lawsuit is scheduled for October 8, 2020. On October 1, 2020, in support of its claim and because of the portal's reporting on the protests in Belarus in 2020, the Ministry of Information suspended TUT.BY's registration as a medium for three months. The portal itself stated that it intends to continue working for the time being. The international organization Reporters Without Borders criticized this policy in relation to the web portal.

In October 2020, the Belarusian Association of Journalists and the editors of a number of independent media outlets issued a joint statement regarding printing on the TUT.BY portal and restricting access to independent websites. A joint statement by the United States and more than fifty other countries and the EU on the human rights situation in Belarus on October 26, 2020 stated that "the recent attacks on Tut.by, the largest independent media company in Belarus, must stop". In a letter to the editors of the Brestskaya Gazeta newspaper in November 2020, blogger Sjarhej Zichanouski condemned the repression of the authorities against the journalistic community, in particular the fact that TUT.BY was “strangled”.

Kazjaryna Baryssewitsch , who wrote an article about the death of Raman Bandarenka in 2020, was arrested in Minsk on November 19, 2020. On March 2, 2021, she was sentenced to six months in prison and a fine of 100 base units for damages.

On May 18, 2021, the TUT.BY office and the apartments of its most important employees were searched as part of a newly opened tax evasion procedure. On the same day, the TUT.BY domain , its mirrors and its email service were blocked by the decision of the Ministry of Information under the guise of disclosing "prohibited information", including the contents of the "unregistered" BYSOL foundation, the victims supported by repression in Belarus. At least 18 TUT.BY workers were arrested.

The United States condemns the relentless persecution of the independent media company TUT.BY, its journalists and staff. Svyatlana Zichanouskaja , Aljaksandra Herassimenja , Kazjaryna Snyzina , Nadseja Astaptschuk and others. expressed solidarity with TUT.BY.
