Accordingly, such a decision should be carefully weighed

In Kazakhstan, there is a discussion about a possible ban on the TikTok network: is this social network harmful? What is the ratio of useful and destructive content in it? Should it be blocked or not? In this regard, the Atameken business channel invited the president of the independent research company BRIF Research Group, Alexander Ruzanov, to appear as an expert on the program “Time to Talk”. In short, Alexander Ruzanov's opinion is as follows: 1) The rapid emergence of social networks and the involvement of ever-increasing masses of people in them began around 2004-2006 (the launch of Facebook, etc.


Since then, more and more people have been spending more and malta phone data more time on social networks, replacing real interaction with people in the real world. In addition, large groups of people have formed in social networks who make business on this. 2) Therefore, social networks (including TikTok) have become part of the social space, a way of communication and a way of life. This is living tissue. Banning any of the social networks will be a kind of painful surgery to remove harmful tissue along with a useful part of the body. That is, a ban on social networks is justified only in the case of direct threats to national security or public safety.


Based on research, expertise and analysis of possible consequences. 3) Surveys of experts on the influence of social networks on society demonstrate the dual nature of such influence. However, many experts believe that the destructive influence of social networks exceeds the benefits of their use. However, experts are against direct and total bans of social networks. Some experts believe that fairly thorough monitoring of content in social networks is needed, identifying and blocking destructive content, and holding the authors and participants in the distribution of harmful, destructive content accountable.
