Albania Bans TikTok for One Year Starting in 2025, PM Edi Rama Calls It 'Neighborhood Trouble' After Death of 14-Year-Old
Dec 21, 2024, 03:06 PM
The Albanian government has announced a ban on the TikTok social media platform for at least one year, starting at the beginning of 2025. Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that TikTok is being labeled as “the neighborhood trouble” and emphasized the need to protect children from its influence. This decision comes in the wake of rising concerns over social media's impact on youth, particularly following the recent death of a 14-year-old, which has intensified discussions about school violence and the role of social media in Albania. The ban marks a significant regulatory move, making Albania one of the first countries in Europe to impose such a restriction on TikTok.
