- sebastianz 2y agoThe allegations and current trial (and what looks like an upcoming European Commission investigation) seem to show that someone purchased illegal electoral ads (i.e. they were not declared as such, and financed though unclear means, by unclear parties). TikTok was required to comply with electoral law and check/enforce all this stuff but did not respond until after the elections, and apparently did not enforce these electoral laws, while pocketing all the illegal ad money.
