It’s pure projection.

[Mitt] Romney Admits Push to Ban TikTok Is Aimed at Censoring News Out of Gaza

"Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down, potentially, TikTok or other entities of that nature," said Romney. "If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts."

The winner of 22.94% of the votes in the 2024 Romanian election, Calin Georgescu, is a far-right candidate that said that a fascist dictator is a national hero

His place as the person who got most votes came as a surprise to many romanians, which barely heard of him. His advertising was mostly done through TikTok. The election was canceled because of claims that his growth was unnatural

The 2024 election was also the first election this century where the political party PSD hasnt gotten in the top 2

TikTok played a huge role in the popularity of a pro-fascist, pro-russian, anti-EU independent candidate

As far as i know, the election was delayed to figure out if he would be disqualified for not respecting the constitution
