The deputy head of Romania's telecoms regulator, Ancom, has requested the suspension of TikTok pending an investigation into the platform's role in alleged electoral manipulation.
Calin Georgescu, the independent candidate with ultranationalist views, surged from a low polling of 5% to nearly 23% through a campaign heavily reliant on TikTok viral videos.
Concerns over external influence were exacerbated by allegations that TikTok's platform was manipulated to sway the election in favor of Georgescu.
Romania's constitutional court will consider allegations of electoral fraud as TikTok's involvement in shaping political outcomes raises significant questions about the integrity of national elections.
