TikTok Outlines Preparations for Upcoming Elections Across Europe
Briefly

More than 134m people across Europe come to TikTok every month, many of whom will vote in the forthcoming European elections. Next month, we will launch a local language Election Centre in-app for each of the 27 individual EU Member States to ensure people can easily separate fact from fiction. Working with local electoral commissions and civil society organizations, these Election Centers will be a place where our community can find trusted and authoritative information.
TikTok says that it's removing misleading content at a higher rate than ever, while it's also working with nine different fact-checking organizations across Europe to verify the accuracy of posted content in 18 different European languages. "Deceptive actors do sometimes try to target online platforms during elections, and we have dedicated experts working to detect, disrupt, and stay ahead of deceptive behaviors. We report the removals of covert influence networks in our quarterly Community Guidelines Enforcement Reports. In the coming months, we'll also introduce dedicated covert influence operations reports to further increase transparency, accountability, and cross-industry sharing. We currently provide information about how we assess this behavior on our Transparency Center."
