The Committee on Education, Culture and Communication in the House of Representatives discussed a proposal to ban “TikTok” in Morocco as well as other applications that do not have security criteria for use .
This proposed ban is justified by the negative impact of this application on certain age categories, particularly young people and adolescents, reports Al Ahdath All Maghribia in its January 10 edition. The parties advocating its ban cite its content which harms the values of Moroccans with the participation of young people in videos which include violent scenes or with sexual connotations. Parliamentarians who call for a ban on TikTok cite its dangers on the mental and physical state of children and adolescents as well as its impact on the image of Morocco.
They reject the exploitation of children and bodies with what they call “begging for material gains” after young people were affected by indecent sequences and games. Moroccan activists believe that it is necessary to create an “electronic moral police” to fight against these infamous behaviors, indicating that the gains acquired by producing “lives” and semi-pornographic videos broadcast on TikToK will intensify this phenomenon which is contrary to good morals.
The daily Al Ahdath Al Maghribia underlines that with the desire to earn more and more money with the production of content via applications and social network platforms, notably Tiktok, society is exposed daily to practices offensive to modesty. So much so that some engage in fierce competition to distribute increasingly “obscene” content in search of fame.
It is worth mentioning that many countries have proceeded to ban this application such as Great Britain. That country’s leaders banned it for official bodies after an audit by the national cybersecurity center warned of hacking of sensitive data from official cellphones by the Chinese government. The same measure of banning Tiktok was taken by France, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and India.
Remember that Tiktok is a mobile application for sharing short videos which appeared in China in 2016 and which spread to the rest of the world in 2017.
