Kazakhstan is intensifying regulation of digital platforms, notably introducing registration requirements for Telegram channels as part of a broader crackdown on misinformation. Minister Aida Balaeva has stressed that the anonymity of disruptive actors should not be a shield and has called for unified rules for online and offline behavior. A newly created Center for Combating Disinformation monitors online content and has identified anonymous Telegram channels spreading messages about planned illegal activities, including armed assaults on schools. 

Drawing inspiration from regulation models in Europe, China, and Russia, Kazakhstan is actively examining ways to better control messenger apps and social networks. These steps reflect a nationwide push to strengthen information security, digital responsibility, and curb destabilizing propaganda.
