Wonderful. Kazakhstan just blocked WHO (World Health Organization)'s website this week, because "it promotes suicide".
Why is our government so backwards when it comes to handling websites? (or, rather, the Internet as a whole)
(also cc @tillianisafox)
"Given the universal accessibility of the Internet to citizens, including the users of which are minor children and youth, this information is dangerous in the formation of an unfavorable social and social situation... Taking into account that one of the highest values in Kazakhstan is a person and his life, and distributed Internet resources contain information about the methods of depriving a person of life, prompting the intentional deprivation of one's own life, the prosecutor's statement was subject to satisfaction."
They use the "hurr durr what about the minors" argument here as well. Why am I not surprised.
@solely but minors having access to WHO info on suicide would actually be really in line with the values they listed????? Wtf
Do they also like block wikipedia??
