Hmm so why Kazakhstan and not China? Is it because the Kazakh market isn't important to their bottom line? I'd love to know how big a market has to be before they play ball with the oppressors.
- PradeetPatel 6y agoIt comes down to identifying dependencies and justifying the necessity of partnering with a regime with relatively diverse/relaxed human right policies. My PR background tells me that this is a weighed decision - Condemning Kazakhstan will yield a considerable amount of media attention with very little opportunity cost. Whereas doing the same to China would get you fired as a PR professional.

- fhhfdfvvvvg 6y agoWhy not the us too? I hear the nsa and fbi are doing a lot of illegal snooping and the police are torturing and killing minorities. I am not defending china, but all countries exploiting their citizens should be punished.
- jeroenhd 6y agoBecause there has not been any proof that China has been using any CA certificates to spy on people. When there were some dubious dealings at StartCom, action was taken as well. If the Kazakh government implements the same control methods China has implemented, big tech companies will use the same excuses to remain at a distance. Local competitors will recreate any service that's not available on the Kazakhnet in the same way China has a local competitor for every type of social media or any app in general.
