Albania announces shutdown of TikTok for at least a year

The Hindu  

Albania on Saturday announced a one-year ban on TikTok, the popular short video app, following the killing of a teenager last month that raised fears over the influence of social media on children. Prime Minister Edi Rama said after meeting with parents' groups and teachers from across the country that the ban, part of a broader plan to make schools safer, will come into effect early next year. In one of the world's toughest regulations targeting Big Tech, Australia approved in November a complete social media ban for children under 16. Mr. Rama has blamed social media, and TikTok in particular, for fuelling violence among youth in and outside school.
