Should TikTok be closed in Albania?/ Psychology: The problem is wider, the

Psychologist Bona Miekley commented today in the News24 studio on the discussions that have erupted regarding the possibility of closing the social networking platform "TikTok" in Albania. Miekley expressed the view that the issue of TikTok use is only part of a wider problem related to the management and influence of social platforms in the lives of young people.

" What I can say is that the problem is bigger than TikTok. Maybe we should try to close it, to see where the roots of this problem lie," said Miekley, emphasizing that the influence of these platforms has profound consequences for the mental health of users, especially young people.

Miekley noted that statistics regarding the negative impact of TikTok and other social platforms are concerning, as they are linked to increased anxiety and depression among young people. She pointed out that many teenagers spend up to 8 or 10 hours each day using their cell phones, a practice that contributes to increased levels of loneliness and insecurity.

The psychologist underlined that the problem is in the management of these platforms and how they affect the behavior and mental health of users.
