Shutting down "TikTok"/Balla: It was not a hasty reaction, the
Minister of State for Relations with the Parliament, Taulant Balla

The Minister of State for Relations with the Parliament, Taulant Balla, reacts to the debate regarding the closure of "TikTok".

Balla declares through a status on social networks that the ban on "TikTok" for at least one year in Albania is not a hasty reaction.

Balla says that the serious events that served as "alarm bells" to avoid tragedies that originate from mockery, blackmail and abuse in social networks.

"How many times has there been a serious incident with the loss of life of people blackmailed, bullied, abused online, at these dinner tables the competition between the guests has been who can find the defects and raise accusations against 'TikTok'", he writes Balla in his message on "Facebook", as he remembers the suicide of a young woman in Kamez, for which Altin Çoku, a person with precedents, known on "TikTok", was arrested.

"It is a fact that this platform did not fulfill the obligation it undertook to moderate posts in the Albanian language, increase vigilance against violence, against blackmail, against online hate speech and strengthen parental control over children's posts. Tonight I'm seeing people crying about the plight of 'TikTok', not the victims at all. I'm not surprised. Banning 'TikTok' for (at least) one year in Albania is not a hasty reaction to a simple event, but a proper decision that enjoys the support of an overwhelming majority among the parents' communities and the Albanian society," he declares. further Balla./ CNA
