    > SRI shows that no common technical resources were used and no shared IP addresses were observed. Specifically, the TikTok accounts in question were assigned to unique IP addresses, which denotes a mode of operation designed to make identification activities more difficult based on the use of a common infrastructure (a characteristic aspect of bot networks).
    >
    > The activity of the accounts in the network was organized outside the TikTok platform, namely on the Telegram messaging service. A propagating Telegram channel has been identified – “Get involved too, Romanian Renaissance Food Water Energy” – which has the role of coordinating other users regarding the posts and distributed video content.

    edit: highly recommend reading the documents, especially the ones from the romanian intelligence service as the details are very interesting

  2. Ok. So the manipulation is obvious. Are there going to be consequences?

  4. A reminder that Călin Georgescu declared zero expenses for his campaign to the authorities, a claim that is clearly implausible for a candidate who secured 2.2 million votes. With the elections on Sunday, the damage is already done, and the odds are, at best, evenly balanced. We are hurtling at 200 miles per hour straight into a wall, while the authorities stand by, doing pretty much nothing.

  5. Interesting info about TikTok’s behaviour from Page 4 of the SRI 1 document.

    > 1.5 TikTok’s conduct and relations with Romanian authorities
    >
    > On 20.11.2024, by decision no. 175D, the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) ordered “the removal of electoral propaganda materials from the online environment depicting the candidate Călin Georgescu in the 2024 Romanian Presidential elections, which do not contain the identification code of the fiscal representative”. The request was sent to TikTok, through the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP), on 21.11.2024 (08:00).
    >
    > On 22.11.2024 (13:47), TikTok sent AEP confirmation of the removal of the posts that are the subject of BEC Decision no. 175D of 20.11.2024, by blocking visual access to them from the territory of Romania, they remaining visible in other states and able to be distributed.
    >
    > However, subsequent checks revealed that **TikTok did not delete the electoral content as requested by the AEP, and it continued to be available to the Romanian public, even after the end of the electoral campaign**, including on election day (aspects that contravene Romanian legislation).

  6. Călin Georgescu is now PROVEN by Romanian intelligence to be backed by the Russian government with the goal of destabilizing Romania.

  7. Ok so since he declared 0 expenses this means fraud (ignoring the obvious treason implication).

    We need the authorities to act and remove him from the elections and put him on trial. We can’t keep being complacent in front of Russia.

  8. So the SRI knew this for over 1 week and why no consequences? Why nothing? Why is this deranged, dangerous idiot still allowed to run?

  9. He must be punished, do you guys have Gulag in Romania, it should be the appropriate place for him.

  11. For f@ck sake, what more does Europe need to take action against this russian propaganda directed specifically to destabilize the EU ?!

    I live in Romania, and it was clear after he won the first tour of elections that most people that voted for him were brain washed with Tik Tok.

    But our intelligence service also slept in their boots, this retard, Georgescu, should have been stopped before the first tour of elections.

  12. This is fucking nuts. It’s a huge psychosocial experiment being run by China to see if they want to influence a population super quickly and it obviously works. Russia wins and China perfects their super weapon.

  13. Now:

    * Let’s have a massive turnout at the polls, for EU
    * Ban TikTok
    * Increase defense spending
    * Increase support for Ukraine
    * Create an European Army

  14. Now we’ll see if and how the authorities will respond. Romania is a tinderbox right now, dunno if they’ll touch him before the election since that can potentially lead to violence. Apparently, his term can be invalidated even after he is elected. Then it’s probably off to court and jail. We’ll just have to wait and see.

  15. Remember all the British expats who were shocked when they couldn’t live in the EU anymore after Brexit?

  16. he became #9 in trending worldwide. it was that hardcore.

  17. In the future, I reckon historians will call 2016 the start of WW3.

  18. The sad part is that his followers won’t care about any proof or arguments. Whatever the crazy fascist does, they just turn a blind eye. Everything against him is either fake news or Western propaganda.

  20. What is SRI and why should I care? If SRI is as worthless as some dude making Reddit account to spam then it’s whatever 🤷

    Reddit and tiktok was full of democrat bots and bias. I bet it’s full of liberal bots for Romania right now. People take it to social media during big events. If they were paid actor. They should be flagged, but let’s not be hypocritical, nobody is clean regarding this practice.

  22. You are making a martyr of him.
    Also ban reddit, The brainwash campaign on Reddit for Harris was also pretty hard and coordinated

  23. Hopefully this little bitch bribed by Russia goes to jail and not to presidency like trump

  24. There is no worse traitor for Romania than a romanian citizen that betrays for russia. They need to make an example out of him along with his shills in the media and his influencers.

  25. I wonder if he’ll follow in his heros footsteps & be executed a traitor

    Or will he flee the country to Russia like the rat that he is

  26. Let’s fucking go!

    Iohannis slept for 10 fucking years just to wait for the mic drop.

  27. **The SRI reports speak of an operation prepared in advance, in favor of Calin Georgescu and which has “the modus operandi of a state actor”. For example, TikTok accounts were made in 2016, and Telegram accounts in 2022 and all were mobilized in the current campaign.**

    SRI specifies that the network of accounts directly associated with Calin Georgescu’s campaign was initially made up of 25,000 accounts on TikTok that became very active two weeks before the first round. The promotion campaign had a particularly good organization, the number of followers increased significantly.

    797 of the accounts that initially formed the network were created as early as 2016. They had a very low activity (1%) until November 11, 2024, when the entire network was activated at full capacity.

    The SRI also advances sums of money, 1 million euros, which were mobilized, of which 381,000 dollars were paid to TikTok, money acknowledged by the Chinese firm.

    # SRI believes that “a state actor” was involved in Georgescu’s promotion

    The SRI uses twice the idea that a state actor was involved in the elections in Romania. Firstly, through certain attacks on AEP systems.

    Secondly, in the way Călin Georgescu’s notoriety was inflated and the promotion, messages and volume of TikTok accounts used were correlated.

  28. Its time to ban political content on social media ASAP
