Ergys Katiatz, a shop owner in Tirana, relies on TikTok to promote nighttime deliveries. However, the Albanian government, citing rising youth crime, has announced a ban on the app, threatening the livelihood of many businesses. Prime Minister Edi Rama’s decision follows a tragic incident involving a student’s death after an online altercation. Critics view the ban as a means to suppress dissent ahead of elections, while TikTok seeks clarification from the government, emphasizing that related videos were posted elsewhere.
