Prime Minister Edi Rama announced a year-long TikTok shutdown in Albania, citing the platform's role in promoting violence and bullying among children, especially after the tragic stabbing of a teenager.
Albanian officials have held extensive meetings with teachers and parents regarding the rising violence linked to TikTok, triggering regulatory responses aimed at safeguarding children from harmful content.
In response to the proposed ban, TikTok indicated it found no ties between the platform and the incident, highlighting the importance of accurate reporting in preventing misinformation.
Rama’s comparison of TikTok’s operations in Albania to those in China emphasizes the need for a more controlled environment to protect young users from harmful behaviors incentivized by the platform.
