ALMATY (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 23rd May, 2019) Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kazakhstan's acting president, has urged the international media community to examine threats posed by the new digital reality so that people develop immunity to them.
The 16th Eurasian Media Forum opened in Almaty earlier on Thursday with the participation of the Kazakh and international media community representatives. Tokayev's greeting statement to the participants of the forum was read out by Kazakh Minister of Information and Communication Dauren Abayev.
"One of the central themes of this forum is a new digital reality. The international community is concerned about protecting people from unauthorized information leaks.
Issues of interference in elections and political processes using digital technologies are actively discussed as well ... People need to develop the immunity to new phenomena and threats. All these and other problems should be seriously studied by the media community in order to develop a comprehensive response [to these threats]," the president said.
According to Tokayev, social institutions are concerned about the destructive influence of the internet and social networks, including on the younger generation.
The Eurasian Media Forum started its activity in 2002 and has become an international discussion platform, which annually brings together more than 600 delegates from 60 countries.
