>TikTok favoring one candidate even after the campaign was over

This shouldn't be an issue because, the mainstream candidates where heavily favoured by the conventional media. If TikTok isn't allowed to publish media supportive of one candidate then the mainstream media shouldn't be either.

That's not how the law works in Romania. As a political candidate, your paid ads have to marked accordingly with a number that can be traced back and all donations and spending must be reported to a government authority.

One of the issues with this TikTok business was that many ads for Georgescu were not marked correctly, and thus in violation of electoral law.
