EU Launches Investigation into Allegations of Election Interference on Social Media Platforms

EU to Investigate TikTok’s Response to Election Security Risks in Romania

The European Commission has announced that it will investigate whether TikTok has violated the Digital Services Act by failing to adequately address concerns over foreign interference in the recent Romanian presidential elections.

The move comes after a statement from EU officials revealed that they suspect TikTok was used to interfere in the election, with the platform reportedly detecting and disrupting five small covert networks targeting the vote.
