Andi Bushati, invited to the show “The Unexposed” on MCN TV, spoke about Edi Rama’s proposal for a consultation with parents, whether the Tik Tok application should be closed.
Bushati said that it is enough for Rama not to campaign with Noizy, a person who glorifies violence and would set an example against violence, before dealing with Tik Tok.
The analyst said that closing a social platform cannot fix the problems that Albania has.
“Rama is a provincial, from a province in this global world, who can neither decide anything nor do anything good. Mr. Gogu said he consulted with parents. Did he consult with Open Balkan? It got 60% and then he closed it.
Now if the parents say we should close it, here I say we get to the heart of the problem. Let’s leave a provincial like Rama. Is closing Tik Tok a solution? This is where the problem begins.
In 2012, Amnesty International accused Facebook in Myanmar of being the main culprit in the ethnic cleansing of 800,000 Muslims. This tragedy occurred with the incitement of racial hatred that it has done. The world would have closed Facebook in time. If you look at what happened to Youtube, during Bolsonaro’s time, it became the entire anti-vax platform, should Youtube be closed? When Facebook was asked, it self-criticized and began to correct its algorithms. Only dictators imagine the solution with closing it. Let’s admit that we are part of this the digital revolution and how we should behave towards it.
What approach should we take to neutralize the bad and accept the good? The printing press was suppressed, people were killed for spreading ideas. It is not solved by closing it, only Erdogan goes there. Society must speak rationally.
A government that says it will campaign with parents and has not taken measures in advance with Tik Tok such as making regulatory acts, to control this thing, this is scandalous.
Edi Rama should not campaign with Noizy, which glorifies violence. There are more modest examples than going to the closure.
What should be done with social networks, which are having a bad effect on some age groups, is a debate that needs to be held in society”, said Bushati.
