Local media had said the incident was a result of arguments between the two boys on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s much stronger, far more influential, and far more enticing to a child when the \u2018neighborhood troublemaker\u2019 they follow on TikTok is more appealing than the values we want to instill at home. And we fear that when our children leave the house, that\u2019s the influence they\u2019ll connect with,\u201d Rama said at a meeting with parents groups and teachers in the capital Tirana.<\/p>\n<p>A new action plan aimed at strengthening school safety mechanisms and enhancing the relationship between schools, students, and parents was presented at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will block TikTok for one year&#8230; it will take us about 6 to 8 weeks to implement this, and within one year, we will completely block TikTok in the Republic of Albania. TikTok will no longer be accessible here!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Rama said that during the year, Albania will monitor how other countries respond, what new technological restrictions or filters emerge, and how TikTok itself will react.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s important to note is that we\u2019re extending our efforts for children beyond just this issue. Every ministry and institution in the Republic of Albania will be required to have its own program for children, regardless of the area of focus. This is not just about one issue; it\u2019s about a broader strategy for our youth,\u201d the premier added.<\/p>\n<p>Several European countries have enforced restrictions on social media use for children.<\/p>\n<p>Australia in November approved a complete social media ban for children under 16.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has also faced accusations of espionage in the US and is under investigation by the EU over alleged election interference in Romania.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
