A government order to ban TikTok to protect children from violent material came into force more than a week ago, but the mobile phone app for the video-sharing platform is still partially working in Albania.

Albanian internet providers were ordered to block TikTok in the country on March 13 after a government decision to impose a one-year ban – but it was still working for some users in its mobile phone app version on Friday.

Well, I guess they had a good idea, but struggle implementing it. The ban makes sense as a mechanism to force social media owners to comply with government regulations. If TikTok demonstrates that they are willing to moderate content, they probably should be allowed again. The caveat is that moderation at this scale is very very difficult, they want to convince us that it's impossible. But behind this alleged impossibility, transpires a political agenda.
