Albania will stop access to tickets for one year starting from March 13, citing concerns over violence and bullying. The opposition has called for a protest against the verdict.

On Wednesday, the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (Akep) ordered all internet service providers to block Tiktok for one year in Albania, which required them to present evidence of compliance. According to DPA and AFP reports, providers will have to ban access by blocking the related IP address and DNS server of the app.

Government justifies the ban


Prime Minister ED Ram announced his intention to ban Tikok for the first time in December, but did not specify a time -line. The decision followed over 1,300 meetings with over 65,000 teachers and parents, most of which supported the ban.

The Albanian government argues that Ticke, owned by China’s bidence, promotes violence and cyberbulling among children. The debate intensified after a 14 -year -old boy was killed in a fight between two groups of students near a school in Tirana last November. Changes on Tikokok, allegedly began and increased in a deadly confrontation.

Tikkok denied any direct link to the tragedy, stating that neither the victim nor the criminal used to eat on the stage and the related videos were broadcast elsewhere.

Opposition and global investigation


The Albanian protest opposed the ban and has protested for March 15.

Ticketkok is highly popular among young users, but faces increasing investigation worldwide. U.S. In, it has been accused of espionage, while the European Union is investigating whether it was used to influence Romania’s presidential elections in favor of a distant candidate.
