The good news is that most of us don’t live in Kazakhstan or plan to.

By forcing all Internet users to install their own issued certificate, the local government effectively has a backdoor on each device, allowing it to sniff encrypted Internet traffic. Of course, this certificate can also be abused by cyber-criminals, who can use it to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, especially for collecting financial details transmitted via online payments.
 
That's good, because it's not like someone can't get items from outside of Kazakhstan and criminals will totally comply with laws too.

Absolutely correct statement.

Big f'n country by the way....probably thought it was some hole in the wall...It's about 1/3 the size of the continuous USA.

So they are behind the times I guess. Most of our stuff already has built in backdoors for years if not decades.
 
I think it's funny that they think they can enforce this. They'd be better doing what the US government does and author spyware that sneaks into your system disguised as useful software and monitor all internet traffic. This is as feasible as the "do not track" flag.
