AND Albanian cabinet It was decided on Thursday that Tictok extinguished for 12 months, accusing the popular platform for sharing videos of encouraging violence and harassment, especially among children.
Education Minister Ogerta Manastirliu said that officials are in contact with Tictok on the installation of filters such as parental control, age checks and the involvement of the Albanian language in the application.
The authorities held 1,300 meetings with about 65,000 parents who “recommended and advocated to the exclusion or limit of the TICTOK platform,” the minister said.
The cabinet launched a move last year after a teenager stabbed another teenager to death In November after the altercation that started on Tiktor.

Tictok did not immediately respond to the request to comment on the government’s decision.
When Prime Minister Eddie Rama said in December that they were aiming for the closing of the social media platforms, Tiktok requested “Emergency Claims from the Albanian Government” about the case of a stabbed teenager.
Rama said on Thursday that they were in a “positive dialogue with the company” and that Tiktoc would soon visit the country to offer “a series of measures to increase safety for children.”

The company announced that “it did not find evidence that the perpetrator or victim had a tictal account, and more reports in fact confirmed that the videos that led to this incident had been posted on another platform, not Tikict.”
Albanian children make up the largest group of Tictoka users in the country, according to researchers.
There is increasing concern than an Albanian parent after reporting the children inspired the content of the social media to take knives to school knives or the cases of harassment that promote the stories they see in Tikict.
Authorities have increased the presence of police in some schools and established other measures, including training programs for teachers, students and their parents.
The opposition did not agree with Tiktok’s closure and set a protest against moves on March 15th. He said that the prohibition was “an act of intolerance, fear and terror from free thinking and expression.”
