Albania to ban TikTok for a year as country's PM claims app inciting violence and bullying
Sunday, 22 December 2024 The Albanian government plans to block access to TikTok for a year after the killing of a 14-year-old boy led to concerns about social media's influence on children.
Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Saturday that TikTok would be blocked in the new year, blaming the platform for rising incidents of violence and bullying, especially among young people.
A light-hearted AI-generated video featuring baby versions of world leaders stole the spotlight at the European Political Community summit in Tirana, Albania. More than 40 leaders—including Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen—were greeted by animated infant versions of themselves saying “Welcome to Albania” in their native languages. Italian PM Meloni burst into laughter, while Erdoğan’s baby avatar—complete with mustache—prompted a rare smile.
