This hotline is a unique project, initiated by the public organization on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The goal of the hotline is removal of illegal and aggressive content from Kaznet, assistance to the users and representatives of online-business in prevention of distribution of illegal materials. The hotline receives and reviews reports from Internet users about resources which have characteristics of illegality, analyses their content, determines their technical characteristics, and after that forwards the information to Kazakhstani internet providers and owners of the internet resources in order to remove the illegal content or block the website.If there are signs of violation of the law, the information about illegal content and resources of forwarded to law-enforcement bodies. The hotline carries out its work in close interaction with the leading representatives of Kazakhstani internet-industry and it is the only hotline of its kind in Kazakhstan.
