“On December 6, 2023, the Department of Economic Investigations for the Almaty Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan's Financial Monitoring Agency submitted a link to the information system 'Cyber Oversight' regarding the prohibition of activities related to financial pyramids and other fraudulent organizations within the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In this regard, access to the internet resource https://seekingalpha.com has been restricted in the Republic of Kazakhstan by the order of the authorized body (No. 26-02-26/183 from January 15, 2025) based on paragraphs 1-3 of Article 36 and paragraph 1-1 of Article 41-1 of the RK Law 'On Communications',” the MKI reported in response to a request from 'Kursiv'.
Seeking Alpha is a popular financial website and platform for investors. The service features analytical articles, news, and information about the stock market. The main focus of the platform is on reports regarding stocks, ETFs, bonds, and other investment instruments.
Last year, 'Kursiv' wrote that the site for designers, Canva, was blocked in Kazakhstan. The Ministry of Information reported that Canva was closed in the country by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, the violations were later rectified, and users were once again granted access to the platform.
