Summary

Albania has announced a one-year ban on TikTok following the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old boy last month, linked to social media disputes.

Local media reported the stabbing followed arguments between the boys on social media, with TikTok videos emerging that appeared to support the killing.

The ban, part of a broader effort to make schools safer, was decided after consultations with parents and teachers.

Similar restrictions have been enacted in countries like France and Australia. The ban will take effect early next year. TikTok has not yet commented.
