Kazakhstan vs. Big Tech: Companies Block Government s Attempt to Spy on People s Devices
Several Big Tech companies have broken their silences following reports of the Kazakhstan government s surveillance over its people s devices.
The reports surfaced after Kazakhstan s government reportedly forced its citizens to install a national security certificate on every single device that accepts the internet. During this period of cyber-training, various problems may arise with access to some foreign internet resources. These can be avoided by installing a security certificate, the country s Security Council said in a statement previously on December 5.
Like they did last year, Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, and Apple teamed up to tackle the issue. In a statement, Mozilla says that it will block the online surveillance certificate from working on its products, while other Big Techs follow the same practice.
