The social platform TikTok granted Albanian Trusted Flaggers the status of reporter through the dedicated channel of community partners. In this way, this network founded by the Academy of Political Studies in cooperation with the National Cyber ??Security Authority (AKSK) and the Center Against Violent Extremism, will have the opportunity to report in a privileged manner next to TikTok the violent and extremist content in social networks.

In the first days of the operation of this partnership, 408 links were reported to TikTok with content that incites violence, hatred or radicalization of young people on this platform, ensuring the blocking of this content within 48 hours of reporting.

This partnership comes as a result of ASP's membership with the International Network Against Cyber ??Hate - INACH and the implementation of international curricula and methodologies for the capacity of flaggers. ASP will continue efforts to create privileged channels with other social media platforms as well as cooperation with public institutions to ensure a safer Internet from illegal content.

This program of the Academy of Political Studies is supported by the US Embassy in Tirana in the framework of the program "Empowering the network of trusted flaggers for a safe cyber ecosystem against violent extremism".
