He also said that the unit has addressed Arab and
international police bodies concerning users of such accounts, adding that “the
identity of users of accounts that spread hate speech on social media has been
identified, and Arab and international police administrations have been
addressed regarding the accounts that broadcast from outside the Kingdom”.
“The unit identifies users’ accounts and pursues
them even if there is no complaint or claim from a third party,” Maghaira said.
“Measures have been taken against TikTok. ...”
Meanwhile, the Cybercrime Unit had said earlier that
the TikTok platform failed to tackle misuse by users who glorified acts of
violence, called for spreading chaos and promoted and falsified videos by
parties outside the Kingdom to incite citizens, and that is why the platform
was temporarily blocked in the Kingdom.
“Measures have been taken against TikTok; the
response by other platforms has been good, so there will be no closure of other
platforms,” Maghaira said.
He pointed out that it is difficult to say how many accounts
are involved, but that cases are under investigation, indicating that some
accounts are from inside Jordan while others came from abroad, and stressing
that appropriate legal measures will be taken.
