Albania is getting serious and is blocking access to TikTok for a period of one year. The measure comes into force this Thursday, Albanian media reported, citing the Authority for Electronic and Postal Communications (AKEP).

Discussions about the possible harmful effects of TikTok had arisen in Albania after a 14-year-old schoolboy was killed in a stabbing at the end of the previous year. The two groups of young people involved had antagonized each other on TikTok and arranged a fight that ended fatally.
According to the media reports, AKEP has sent an e-mail to all internet service providers in Albania asking them to block access to TikTok by March 13 and to provide the authority with written documentation of their actions.
