The social network TikTok has deleted several networks of accounts that illegally promoted candidates for the presidency of Romania, UNN  reports News Maker.

Details

Tik Tok representatives did not respond to the accusations of interference in the Romanian elections, but deleted several networks of accounts that were involved.

One of the networks promoted Kelin Georgescu and consisted of 78 accounts and 1781 subscribers. The other network promoted Mircea Gioane and consisted of 12 accounts.

These were very small networks aimed at the Romanian audience
