    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I wanted to give a few thoughts on the good Statement sought by Sen. Hezena on TikTok usage and data protection. I know that we have the Data Protection Act in place, but there are gaps because that Act has not been translated into what I would call clear governance policies. If you read that Act the way it is at the moment, it is generic in terms of general laws that need to exist and fairness laws. For us to get justice in what has been sought by Sen. Hezena, which is basically the danger that our young people are facing by being online and consuming platforms such as TikTok, the first thing that the Committee should do is proper data protection impact assessment. They should also look at the interface between that impact assessment together with governance policies and how clear they can be. For instance, despite the existence of that particular law, there is no transparency on data collection, storage, and usage, not only by TikTok, but all other social media platforms that we have. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
