Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)The individual has never before been exposed to others and has never before been able to communicate so freely in every corner of the world and in real time with others, all of this is possible through social networks that invite us to make life as public as possible. They [...]
They have broken thinking today, taboo on personal life, spaces, and communication dimensions. Despite the positive effects, however, social networks in many cases have become a source of interpersonal conflicts, generating other crimes.
As for the use of social networks by minors, the director of the State Agency for the Protection of Personal Data, lives Arifi, on International Private Day, has said that parents must be alert so that their children are not victims of abuse by technology.
The social networks are finding use of all ages, of course, that the age which is most subject to the potential risk is the young, the teenagers, who, according to research done by nongovernmental organizations, with which we have close cooperation, have evidence that these networks use without certain and non-priced parenting criteria in most cases, as well as they use them mainly for games, which have the potential for introducing different viruses, which enables the theft of data, which is found in the technology device that they use, whether they use, whether they use mobile phones or PC. It is also possible that they will go according to the use of this technology and then get stuck in school, except if parents are not sufficiently alert, overuse of information technology by being lured to make the most of social networks, whether to keep society, or to have fun and so on, it can influence them to fall prey to various abuses, without excluding possible sexual abuses of<1>, he said.
Using social networks, Arifi doesn't see it with a negative overall impact. He claims that there are those who monitor and exploit technology for certain needs that coincide with education, culture and entertainment, mainly well - meaning information.
And we can't quite say that it's negative, because there are parents who are conscious enough that technology is constantly in the hands of their children, but they are constantly monitoring them so that they can only use pages that provide new knowledge to them, even recreation, but not overexcessively. It means that it is very important that parents take care to monitor their children's use of information technology, especially from their minor age”, he stressed.
Also, the need to exist an adequate law that makes the definition of an adequate age for access to these networks is of great interest, but indefinitely. Arifi has indicated that if this were regulated by a certain law, it would be good, but difficult to control, because this would have influenced children to appear in an unrealistic age, only to allow access to the desired network.
Arifi: Social networking founders have privacy policies
“Social networks have certain privacy policies themselves, such as Facebook, tecter etc. So they define that to open an account they have to meet the age criteria, but this often happens, I don't say in all cases, that children present a more unrealistic age, that is, they appear to be older, in order to achieve their goal, to open an account on a certain social network. So it's something that can be easily overcome, despite being set up as a privacy policy on social networks. If it were regulated by a certain law, it would be good, but it's hard to control. Therefore, it is very important, yet I am stressing that parents or stewards of minor children, care for networks or Web sites that these children use on daily basis”, he said.
The International Private Day is also marked today. The AKS has published the results of the survey of information technology and communication use for 2017, where according to this result, family economies in Kosovo have had access to computers 61.3 per cent of them, while 38.7 per cent of them have been declared to have had no access to any electronic-computer devices. While online access by any device has had 88.8 percent of the family economies.
