The possibility of closing the Tiktok social network was discussed on Wednesday in the Security and Defense Committee.
This discussion was held with the head of the Agency for Information and Privacy, Krenare Sogojeva-Dërmaku. MPs, from the position and the opposition, have mentioned the dangers that are coming from this platform.
LVV deputy, Dimal Basha, asked about the possibilities, as he said, to "tighten Tiktok's work".
"What are our options to tighten this work of TikTok, as you know it has been a tremendous concern. There are different European countries when the identity card of the person in question is required to open the account. This avoids the possibility of opening accounts of minor children, I'm talking under the age of 16", he asked.
The deputy of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Hisen Berisha, said that this platform is "out of control".
"We have to think here about reducing it or stopping it. We have to think as a state in this way", he said.
However, Commissioner Sogojeva said that closing this social platform is not the responsibility of the Information and Privacy Agency, but of the government.
But she emphasized that they have reached a bilateral relationship with Tik-Tok, where privacy policies have been increased.
She added that the problem continues to be the lack of the official domain of Kosovo on these platforms.
In this meeting, the Security and Defense Affairs Committee approved the performance plan of the Information and Privacy Agency for 2025.
The commissioner, Krenare Sogojeva-Dermaku, told the deputies that the priority of the agency is the protection of personal data.
According to her, such a thing will be achieved through the increase of inspections and capacity building.
