Albania to ban TikTok for one year, blaming it for inciting youth violence and bullying
There has been increasing concern from Albanian parents after reports of children taking knives and other objects to school to use in quarrels or cases of bullying promoted by content they see on the platform.
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 leadersâincluding Italyâs Giorgia Meloni, Turkeyâs Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan, and Denmarkâs Mette Frederiksenâwere greeted by animated infant versions of themselves saying âWelcome to Albaniaâ in their native languages. Italian PM Meloni burst into laughter, while ErdoÄanâs baby avatarâcomplete with mustacheâprompted a rare smile.
