谷歌、苹果和火狐浏览器制造商Mozilla周三采取措施，阻止哈萨克斯坦政府使用浏览器创建互联网监控系统。

Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox will block a government encryption certificate that allows authorities to read anything a user types or posts using the browsers, including account information and passwords, the companies said in separate statements.

谷歌Chrome和Mozilla Firefox将阻止一个政府加密证书，允许当局使用浏览器读取任何用户类型或帖子，包括帐户信息和密码，公司在单独的声明中说。

Apple also said in a statement it would take similar measures to protect the users of its Safari browser.

苹果还在一份声明中表示，将采取类似措施保护其Safari浏览器的用户。

Kazakh authorities were not immediately available to comment.

哈萨克斯坦当局没有立即发表评论。

Earlier this month, Kazakhstan said it had halted implementation of the system, the initial rollout of which was described as a test by the government.

本月早些时候，哈萨克斯坦表示已经停止了该系统的实施，该系统的首次推出被描述为政府的一项测试。

State security officials had said its goal was to protect Kazakh users from “hacker attacks, online fraud and other kinds of cyber threats.”

国家安全官员曾表示，其目标是保护哈萨克斯坦用户免受“黑客攻击、网络欺诈和其他类型的网络威胁”。

The system could be deployed again “if threats emerge to national security in the form of cyber- and information attacks,” Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee said in a statement this month.

哈萨克斯坦国家安全委员会本月在一份声明中表示，如果国家安全受到网络和信息攻击的威胁，该系统可能会再次部署。

The former Soviet Central Asian nation routinely blocks websites and applications used by its critics, including Facebook and YouTube, for short periods of time.

前苏联中亚国家经常在短时间内屏蔽其批评者(包括Facebook和YouTube)使用的网站和应用程序。

The blocks have often coincided with public protests, the most recent wave of which took place around the time of the June 9 election which completed the transfer of power from strongman Nursultan Nazarbayev to his loyal ally Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

这些封锁经常与公众抗议同时发生，最近的一次抗议浪潮发生在6月9日的选举期间，这次选举完成了将权力从强大的努尔苏坦纳扎尔巴耶夫，移交给忠诚的盟友卡西姆乔马托卡耶夫的过程。
