This ‘raises a lot of questions’ about the role of social media in this campaign β’ FRANCE 24
A top Romanian court on Friday annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election, days after allegations that Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round. “This certainly raises a lot of questions about the role of TikTok and the role of social media in general in this campaign,” said FRANCE 24’s correspondent in Romania, Maria Gerth-Nicolescu.Β

Information is power. People have the power now.
Wow, CIA openly manipulating Romanian elections. If they repeat an election the guy is going to win in the first round.

respect calin georgescu !
Romania is under an ever increasing disinformation attack by Russia and TikTok is their preferred platform. Since the vote was cancelled TikTok is flooded with older clips of romanian troops movements labelled as happening now as well as disinformation regarding possible recruiting actions by the Romanian Army. All this with the purpose of portraying the government as preparing troops to be sent to Ukraine.
Ruzzian bots are on overdrive
So it's apparently ok for people to go on youtube and search putin speeches and basically whatever, but to get that same content from tiktok means that you're being manipulated? Umm… Do these politicians even know how these apps work? I don't think so
Brexit hasn't been cancelled despite the interference by Cambridge Analytica.
CG is a lunatic Ceausescu wannabe. He's only sane destination is jail.
These should have been cancelled way before, since CiucΔ's publicity panels ! The decision is right but came too late.
Forget about Russian interference, it looks like EU and internal political interference.! What does it matter if influenced by TikTok or the corrupt media , or newspaper, or…? Who cares how the campaign reached people… the entire point is to reach people ! Russian interference or other excuses to null the election is oppression and unconstitutional! Now one is a natzi or far right and or far right extremest if you are normal, a patriot, have common sense and know the difference between woman and man, and think sanely! People had enough of the tv media pushing this narrative! You are not journalist , you are not journalist investigators, you are commentators and are paid to say XYZ… and this is ok? This does not influence people? What a joke!!!! People are not stupid! Nor afraid!
Everytime something does not go the west way, blame Russia. It's becoming pathetic!
What will happen if the second election has the same result? Are they going to have elections again until it goes in favor to united states and friends? π
Mainstream media from Romania is entirely owned by foreign trusts or media-holdings.
They are the real agents of foreign influence in Romanian electoral process.
