The Prime Minister emphasized that "we are afraid when the child is accompanied by him when he leaves the house," adding that Tik is very strong and influential.
The head of government emphasized that during the year of application of the measure, it will be seen how other countries act and whether filters will be placed on the social network.
"It is much stronger, much more influential, much more attractive that neighborhood street urchin who has TikTok on his phone. TikTok is the neighborhood street urchin, that we are afraid of when the child is accompanied by it when he leaves the house. We will close TikTok for 1 year. We have done our research in terms of technology, it will take us 6-8 weeks starting from the beginning of next year and for 1 year we will completely close it for everyone. TikTok will not exist in the Republic of Albania. Then and during that year we will see how other countries will act, what technology will come out for filters, etc., how TikTok will react ," said Rama.
