Mozilla has announced that it will work together with Google, Microsoft and Apple to help protect the privacy of Internet users in Kazakhstan. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across the country recently informed their customers that they should install a government-issued root certificate on all their devices in order to continue accessing Internet services. However, when a user installs the certificate, they choose to trust a certificate authority (CA) that allows the government to intercept and decrypt network communications sent from their web browser. If that sounds familiar, it's because ISPs in Kazakhstan tried the exact same thing last year, and at the time, the maker of Firefox said the move directly contradicts Principle 4 of Mozilla's manifesto which states: "Security and privacy of people on the Internet are fundamental. and should not be considered optional.”
