Thank to a Chinese spyware called TikTok, Romania has a dangerously high chance of electing a Russian agent as their president.

Okay this is clockbait. It will be discussed but it’s not starting tomorrow.

That’s false. There is a request that was submitted for TikTok to be temporarily suspended until the investigation is finished.

Does anyone have links to this campaigns TikTok’s? Curious to see why they’ve been so effective

Romania is not banning TikTok (at least not yet). This is a request from a vice-president for ANCOM (telecommunications regulation body) and while the agency may support it, it still needs to go through other institutions and courts to get approved.

Not facebook and Instagram?

The title is misleading. It’s not banning anything, it requested an investigation and after that it could ban tiktok

Let’s gooo, who’s next? You can’t be the first anymore, but at least you won’t be Hungary.

It’s a demand to temporarily ban tiktok during the election period, which hasn’t been discussed yet. Title is misleading (unfortunately)

Do X next.

Fake title. It will be discussed tomorrow in a committee, but nothing is confirmed yet.

In the past foreign actors had to work hard to exert any meaningful influence abroad, today we invite them in every citizen’s home without care.

How is it going to be banned? ISPs will be required to block access to it? Will users be punished for using it?
yoloperyolo on
The US should of done this a long time ago

Platforms are not the cause of these swing. Failed policies and neglected citizens are.
Btw 11 percent of Reddit is owned by a Chinese company.

Clickbait.
Romania will discuss banning the platform in a tomorrow seat. Further investigation is needed to provide additional evidence to back this (unlikely) decision.
At the moment, there is no official statement or commitment about banning TIkTok. We just have to wait and see, but in my humble opinion, it won’t be banned, at best restrictions could be put in place but with poor results.

Ban tiktok. Sanction China. The Great Decoupling has begun.

… Furthermore, I am of the opinion that TikTok needs to be banned within the EU.

Shitty misleading title! Booooo!

Fake news. It’s just a request, not a law/decree.

Good for them, can the rest of the EU do the same?

I dream of a time the brain rot app that is Tiktok is nothing but a putrid spit on the sidewalk of mistakes. Good riddance.
