Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted to the recent ruling by the Constitutional Court, which declared the temporary ban of TikTok as unconstitutional, stating it infringed on freedom of expression.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Rama argued that, according to the Court’s decision, 90% of Albanian parents and teachers were “wrong” to request the platform’s closure.
He added that the TikTok ban led to positive outcomes, as the platform implemented additional safety measures before reopening. Parents and teachers now feel more reassured, he noted.
“The Constitutional Court believed that 90% of parents and teachers were wrong when they asked for TikTok to be closed! Thankfully, we reopened it only because of the company’s willingness to adopt extra safety measures, which came precisely because of the closure. Without it, these positive measures would never have been implemented. Thanks to that closure, parents and teachers can feel a bit more relieved, while those spreading misinformation may feel emboldened by the ruling,” Rama wrote.
