The Albanian Cabinet approved a 12-month ban on Chinese-owned video-sharing platform TikTok on March 6 in an effort to safeguard children amid concerns the app is inciting violence and bullying.

The country’s cabinet initially began working toward a ban last year following the fatal stabbing of a teenager by another teen in November after an argument that allegedly started on TikTok.
