The Albanian government has decided to ban TikTok for a year, citing concerns over violence, bullying, and its impact on children. Authorities claim that parental feedback supported the move, following a fatal stabbing linked to a quarrel on the platform. While TikTok disputes its role in the incident, officials are in talks with the company to enhance safety measures, including parental controls and age verification. The ban has sparked political debate, with opposition groups planning protests, arguing it suppresses free expression. The move aligns with broader global scrutiny of TikTok over data privacy and child safety.
