Summary
Albania has announced a one-year ban on TikTok following the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old boy last month, linked to social media disputes.
Local media reported the stabbing followed arguments between the boys on social media, with TikTok videos emerging that appeared to support the killing.
The ban, part of a broader effort to make schools safer, was decided after consultations with parents and teachers.
Similar restrictions have been enacted in countries like France and Australia. The ban will take effect early next year. TikTok has not yet commented.

Lemmy.ml, who would ha… Wait, blahaj? Since when are there mao-tankies on blahaj?
Edit: i just read the second part and I absolutely agree. TikTok is a thret and needs to be banned eu-wide asap
But I’m confused why you defend Tiktok in the forst part, then attack it in the second?

I’m mainly riffing on the post title attributing the stabbing to TikTok, TikTok didn’t stab the kid, some other human being did, it would be like saying the Ford motor company drove into a parade
