Prime Minister Edi Rama reports that there will be consultations with parents and teachers on restricting social networks. At the table of the National Council for the Rights and Protection of Children, Rama considered social networks dangerous, which, according to him, have contributed to the isolation of young people and the blurring of the boundaries between reality and the virtual world.
”This new situation, built over years in Europe and Albania as a result of similar and different causes, requires a new approach to everything that helps the physical socialization of people.
Social networks have stimulated a form of isolation of a very dangerous nature for democratic coexistence, and a crossing of the boundaries between real and virtual to the point that psychologists have concluded that many of these minors consider such a possibility as a way to enter physically into a PlayStation.
The debate must be opened on how long we can limit minors’ access to social networks, to 16 or 18 years of age. We will start a consultation as we did when we had to restrict TikTok, we will start the consultation in schools and with parents,” said Rama.
