Global Witness submitted 28 ads to TikTok, half in Irish, highlighting major weaknesses in TikTok's moderation system by approving false ads that misled about voting.
TikTok's spokesperson stated that 11 ads from Global Witness passed initial checks, insisting that its ad moderation is designed around real-world scenarios, not hypothetical examples.
Global Witness emphasized that the disinformation contained in the ads should have been obvious to any human reviewer, questioning TikTok's moderation effectiveness.
Despite the approval of some ads, TikTok asserted these did not go live and reinforced its policy against political advertisements, citing a new election information center.
