for detecting insufficient policy interventions,
particularly in the cyber realm. Firstly, it was
found out that both states had official fact
checking websites targeting the disinformation
problem and both created their own official
portals regarding updated epidemic situational
statistics with COVID-19. In terms of differences,
Kazakhstan on the one hand established its unified
central communications service, while in the
context of Russia such state institution has not yet
been created. In terms of campaigns, the Russian
MyWmeste
fund was initiated via a bottom-up
approach, while its counterpart
BizBirgemiz
fund
pertained purely top-down elements with the
initiative taken by the ruling party. The paper
also used the concept of knowledge-deficit model
to explain the existing schism between the public
mass and expert community to demonstrate the
emergence of lack of trust towards government
bodies and subsequent rise of disinformation
content.
Finally, based on the discussion and analysis
of case studies, the following suggestions are
recommended:
-
Adding icons or hyperlinks of official
factchecking portals, into Kazakhstani official
government-supported mass media outlets
(tengrinews.kz, zakon.kz or inform.kz) as well as
Russian mass media outlets are recommended.
-
Since most disinformation content
originates from social media outlets, it might
be important to do a nationwide awareness
campaigns (both nationwide and locally) to
increase the level of digital and financial literacy.
Another way to research on this issue is to fund
research studies on studying the susceptibility
rate for disinformation by specific groups of
people or specific outlets.
-
Both
governments
should
keep
consolidating the society’s social responsibility
and trust by pro-actively education starting
from primary to high school level common
understanding of problems and goals, is the
only way to unite the public to fight against the
disinformation problem. The next generation
and the generation of those born after the 2000’s
should be targeted into this pro-active awareness
campaign.
