Albanië
On February 3, 2026, the Albanian government officially repealed its nearly year-long ban on the social media platform TikTok, citing resolved public and digital safety concerns. The decision, enacted through Decision No. 62, restores full public access to the platform and assigns oversight responsibilities to the National Cyber Security Authority. Despite the ban's reversal, legal challenges persist. The Constitutional Court is expected to issue a ruling in March 2026 on the original ban's constitutionality, following a lawsuit filed by media organizations. Critics argue that the initial ban lacked proportionality and transparency, raising concerns about executive authority over digital platforms and freedom of expression in Albania.
