TikTok și alegerile din România. Ancheta Comisiei Europene, nefinalizată după aproape doi ani. SURSE: O concluzie, așteptată până la începutul anului viitor / Amenzile pot ajunge la 6% din afacerile globale ale TikTok - CORESPONDENȚĂ DE LA BRUXELLES

The European Commission's investigation into TikTok, initiated after Romania's presidential elections in November 2024, is ongoing and may conclude by early 2027. If violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA) are found, TikTok could face fines up to 6% of its global revenue. The inquiry focuses on TikTok's management of electoral risks and its recommendation systems, particularly regarding coordinated misinformation and political advertising policies. The investigation was prompted by concerns over external interference and the platform's handling of election-related content. The Commission emphasizes that the investigation does not aim to determine election outcomes but to assess TikTok's compliance with DSA obligations.
