Almaty, August 20 /Xinhua/ — The information being spread about the alleged ban on the use of foreign messengers /WhatsApp, Telegram, etc./ is not true. This was reported on Wednesday on the website of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The agency emphasized that the initiative to introduce the domestic messenger Aitu concerns exclusively official communications in central and local government agencies. It is necessary so that civil servants can safely exchange information intended exclusively for official use, which will increase the level of information security and make the transition to a secure digital environment.
According to the Ministry of Digital Development, Aitu will become the main tool for correspondence on official matters, work chats, operational notifications and interaction with state digital platforms. Its advantage is that all servers are located on the territory of Kazakhstan, which meets data protection requirements and makes the system more reliable for government agencies.
“Aitu does not replace or ‘interfere’ with foreign messengers in the personal lives of citizens, but only provides a secure channel for work processes in the public sector,” the agency added. –0–
