Albania starts turning off TikTok amid concern over youth violence
TIRANA (Reuters) - TikTok users in Albania are experiencing difficulties accessing the popular short video app after a one-year government ban took effect on Thursday, prompted by concerns that social media is fuelling youth violence in and outside school.
Albania's move follows bans or partial bans in at least 20 other countries amid worries about improper videos or security concerns linked to TikTok owner ByteDance and its proximity to the Chinese government.
