Could banning TikTok make schools safer? Albania Prime Minister says apps are “taking our children hostage”

TikTok.

TikTok, the popular short form video app currently facing a behind ban in the US, will be banned from Albania for a year after the death of a 14-year-old. The country announced a one-year ban on the social media app over the weekend as part of a widespread plan to enhance safety in schools.

Reuters reports the one-year-ban follows the death of a 14-year-old student. The student was allegedly stabbed by another student following an argument between the two on social media, Reuters reported, and some students allegedly supported the murder on TikTok videos.
