Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced on Saturday that the social network TikTok, owned by the Chinese group ByteDance, would be closed in the country for at least a year, from the beginning of 2025.

“TikTok is the neighborhood thug,” Mr. Rama said during a meeting in Tirana with Albanian teachers, parents and psychologists. “We are going to close it for a year and we are going to start rolling out programs that will serve to educate students and help parents follow their children’s journey,” he added.
