Kazakhstan General Prosecutor’s Office has admitted that Kazakhstan authorities are still unable to block Facebook and Twitter, in cases of violations of Kazakhstan laws, Tengrinews reports. “Speaking of the websites in general, excluding the social networks, our authorized body, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, is able to selectively block pages. But they are still unable to do it with the social networks,” the official representative of the General Prosecutor’s Office Nurdaulet Suindikov said at the meeting of the Public Council. “We have the capacities to do it with YouTube, but not with Facebook and Twitter. We are currently working on several projects in the framework of the state program on countering religious and general terrorism,” Suindikov said. First of all, the Ministry of Transport and Communications is searching for new technical ways to block the websites. Secondly, the General Prosecutor’s Office is working to expand the existing international agreements via the Foreign Ministry and other authorities. Besides, the controlling bodies are trying to develop self-regulation of Internet by influencing the society through non-governmental organizations. By Renat Tashkinbayev
