NATO member bans TikTok for ‘perversity’

Critics have accused the Albanian government of political censorship

Albania is about to enact a year-long ban on TikTok in the name of protecting children and teens. However, critics of Prime Minister Edi Rama claim his real aim is to silence the political opposition ahead of an election in May, according to Reuters.

Rama announced the ban in late December, after what he said were weeks of consultations with parents and teachers.
