Romania Demands TikTok Accountability for Censorship

Romania: TikTok Accused of Violating Constitution Through Censorship TikTok's operations in Romania are facing scrutiny after a video went viral, accusing the platform of flagrantly violating the country's constitution. The video, posted by user @mr.story.reloaded, alleges that TikTok has repeatedly and abusively suppressed freedom of expression, directly contradicting Article 30 of the Romanian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of thought, opinion, and creation. The video's author contends that TikTok's actions represent a significant threat to citizens' rights and calls for immediate intervention by Romanian authorities. "TikTok, an active platform on Romanian territory, is violating our fundamental laws," the author states in the video. The video further references the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 10, which reinforces the protection of freedom of expression. The Romanian government and parliament are now urged to investigate these accusations and take appropriate action to protect citizens' rights in the digital sphere. The case highlights the increasing tension between the need to regulate social media platforms and the fundamental right to freedom of expression.
