Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama announced a one-year ban on TikTok, attributing it to incidents of violence and bullying among children fueled by the platform's influence.
During a meeting with parents and teachers, Rama emphasized the need for protection from content that incites hatred and violence, stating, 'Albania is too small a country to impose on TikTok a change of its algorithm.'
In response to the controversies, TikTok questioned the government's claims, indicating that no evidence linked the platform to the stabbing death of a teenager.
The Albanian government's measures follow rising concerns among parents about children carrying weapons to school, influenced by violent content seen on social media platforms.
