”国家安全官员曾表示，其目标是保护哈萨克斯坦用户免受黑客攻击、网络欺诈和其他类型的网络威胁”。

The system could be deployed again if threats emerge to national security in the form of cyber- and information attacks,” Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee said in a statement this month.

The former Soviet Central Asian nation routinely blocks websites and applications used by its critics, including Facebook and YouTube, for short periods of time.

The blocks have often coincided with public protests, the most recent wave of which took place around the time of the June 9 election which completed the transfer of power from strongman Nursultan Nazarbayev to his loyal ally Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

这些封锁经常与公众抗议同时发生，最近的一次抗议浪潮发生在6月9日的选举期间，这次选举完成了将权力从强大的努尔苏坦纳扎尔巴耶夫，移交给忠诚的盟友卡西姆乔马托卡耶夫的过程。
