These measures were discussed during a meeting in Bucharest between Pavel Postica, Vice-Chair of Moldova’s Central Electoral Commission (CEC), and Simion Dorin Rusu, TikTok’s manager for government relations and public policy in Romania, Hungary and the Balkans.

The discussions focused on combating disinformation, including content generated using artificial intelligence, as well as identifying breaches of the rules on political and electoral advertising.

Another topic was how the CEC can use the TikTok platform to inform voters and improve media literacy. The platform will also provide users with resources to help them recognise and verify potentially false information.

According to a Promo-LEX study, carried out in March 2026 amongst residents of Gagauzia, social media is a source of political information for 46 per cent of respondents. At the same time, 61 per cent of them mentioned TikTok amongst their main sources of political information.
