The Department of Information and Communications Technology said Monday it is open to regulating social media platform TikTok, as well as other applications that could possibly be used for illegal activities. DICT Undersecretary Jeffrey Dy made the remark following the filing of a bill in the House of Representatives seeking to ban “foreign adversary-controlled” applications in the Philippines such as TikTok.
He also noted that Facebook is also now being used to sell even newborn babies, citing reports of a one-week-old infant that was being sold for P90,000.“'Yung mga ganyan kasi, dapat proactively kaya nating i-regulate or kahit i-takedown man lang ang mga sites and handles that are being used for illegal activities,” Dy said.
