Albania has decided to ban TikTok for a year, following a fatal stabbing at a school. The ban is part of the government's plan to make schools safer and promote healthier social media use among children. The decision comes after several European countries and Australia imposed restrictions on social media use for minors.

Prime Minister Edi Rama blamed TikTok for fuelling violence among youths in and outside schools. The ban is expected to come into effect early next year and will also include measures to help parents monitor their children's online activities.

Social Media Giants Face Strict Age Limit in Australia

social mediaAustraliatechnologychildrenlegislation

In a bold move, Australia's government has pledged to introduce world-leading legislation to ban children under 16 from social media platforms. This new law will affect giants like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others, giving them a year to figure out how to exclude Australian children under 16. The main goal is to protect young people from potential harm, with the onus on platforms to demonstrate they're taking reasonable steps to prevent access.

What does this mean for the future of social media and young users?

AI-driven bots are trying to sway the 2024 US election in favor of Donald Trump.** Open source intelligence researcher Elise Thomas discovered a large bot network on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, promoting Trump.

The network could be the work of one person or a group, and it's not the first time AI bot networks have targeted US elections. While the network isn't generating much authentic engagement, as AI gets more sophisticated, bot networks might be harder to spot. **Is AI taking over the 2024 US election?

This historic trip to Arizona on Friday follows his promise to visit Indian Country.

The first formal apology by a sitting president seeks to usher in a new era of federal-tribal relationships.
