Over the past year, Albania's media law sector has been significantly influenced by government action addressing online content and platform regulation. In January 2025, Prime Minister Edi Rama imposed a one-year TikTok ban. The government cited concerns about youth safety.
The Albanian government's move to ban TikTok sparked broader discussions about regulating social media content. Authorities expressed intentions to collaborate with platforms to implement measures such as parental controls, age verification and the inclusion of the Albanian language. These initiatives are intended to enhance online safety and address concerns about harmful content targeting youth.
Despite constitutional guarantees of press freedom, reports suggest that government and business entities continue to exert influence over media outlets. Political and business interests in media ownership, as well as complex ownership structures, have led to concern about editorial independence and plurality. Self-censorship among journalists remains a significant issue, influenced by political pressures and economic challenges.
