The government clarifies the decision to bring TikTok back - "We are working on protective filters"
The government explains that the lifting of the temporary measures to interrupt access to the TikTok online platform is the result of an institutional reassessment and the concrete addressing of concerns related to public, social and digital safety, especially for children and young people.
The measure approved by the Council of Ministers in March 2025 was conceived and implemented as a preventive intervention, in order to protect the public interest and address the concerns identified during that period. It also served to open a direct and constructive dialogue with the platform, laying the foundations for new security mechanisms, which were not previously present.
Today, Albanian authorities are partnering with TikTok representatives on protective keyword filters, content controls and more efficient reporting and handling of violations.
This decision marks the transition from restrictive measures to a phase of active monitoring, inter-institutional cooperation and shared responsibility with digital platforms.
In parallel, work is underway to draft a genuine communication and awareness plan, focused on children, young people, parents and teachers, for the safe and responsible use of online platforms. The goal is clear and oriented towards digital education, real protection and building a culture of safety in the online space.
This balanced approach aims to guarantee freedom of access, while simultaneously placing the interest of the safety and well-being of young people at the center of public policies.
