Brussels (AFP) – The European Commission has said it's stepped up its monitoring of TikTok after receiving information about possible Russian interference in Romania's presidential election.
Authorities in Bucharest have alleged Russian meddling and "preferential treatment" by TikTok of the far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who won the first-round vote. TikTok denied the claim, and Russia insisted it was not interfering in the election.
