The Albanian government has issued a strict directive to internet service providers, giving them 24 hours to block access to TikTok across the country. The move comes amid growing concerns over the app’s alleged negative influence on youth and potential national security risks.
Authorities stated that TikTok has been linked to harmful content, cyber threats, and concerns over data privacy. The government’s decision aligns with similar actions taken by other nations to regulate the platform’s influence.
Internet providers are expected to comply immediately, or they may face penalties. Meanwhile, critics argue that the ban limits freedom of expression and could set a precedent for broader internet restrictions in Albania.
