TikTok reports massive cheating in Romanian elections; multiple disinformation networks

10 comments

1. TikTok blocked nearly 100,000 fake accounts and 33,000 spam accounts in Romania in the second half of 2024 related to the country’s presidential elections.

   In its latest transparency report, the company on Wednesday acknowledged the massive scale of online manipulation during the elections, which Romania cited as a reason for cancelling its presidential poll.

2. It’s almost as if the investigation’s concerns were legitimate. 🤯

3. A healthy democracy should be resilient to outside noise. If viral videos on TikTok can swing a majority of a population’s opinion, then perhaps Romania’s problem is not misinformation, it’s miseducation. Blaming an app is just a distraction from the bigger problem

4. Ask yourself, would KetaminElon feel like he needs to do most to block disinformation campaigns to get agent Krasnov elected?

5. That why europe urgently needs its own sovereign social medias. We’re going to get owned by russia, china and the US if we don’t

6. Ok so is anything going to be done about it?

7. I’m so afraid that the same thing might be happening right now without us knowing again since there’s just a month left before the elections. I just hope not!

8. Genuine question: Why does Elon Musk keep tweeting about Romania elections, defending the opposition guy who was put in jail?

   Wtf he wants from Romania?

9. Disinformation from another country, like the one Russia is doing worldwide needs to be an act of war. It brought the US to its knees and we can’t let it happen in the eu anymore.

10. Russians playing their games, poorly as every other game.

    Mfs we have +50% damage to ruskies now!
