Blogs and Chats Deemed “Mass Media”

According to a new law adopted in Kazakhstan, all web resources, including blogs and chats, qualify as “mass media,” which implies they are governed by relevant Kazakhstan legislation. This means, in particular, that in case of violations Kazakh authorities may demand to remove the dubious materials or direct to block the site altogether. This refers not only to Kazakhstan sites, but to sites hosted in any country of the world.
