EU launches probe into TikTok over Romania vote 'interference'
The EU says it has opened a formal investigation into TikTok following allegations the platform was used by Russia to sway the result of Romania's later annulled presidential election. "Following serious indications that foreign actors interfered in the Romanian presidential elections by using TikTok, we are now thoroughly investigating whether TikTok has violated the Digital Services Act by failing to tackle such risks," European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement.
