Romanian News Outlet Realitatea Plus Accuses TikTok of Censorship

Realitatea Plus, a prominent Romanian news organization, reported today that its TikTok account has been unexpectedly blocked, resulting in the removal of 42 posts without explanation. The news outlet shared a short video on their secondary account, showing a news anchor and text detailing the incident. "In recent days, 42 of our posts were removed without any explanation," stated a representative from Realitatea Plus. This action raises concerns about censorship and freedom of the press in the digital realm. The lack of transparency from TikTok regarding the reasons for the block is particularly troubling. Realitatea Plus has urged its followers to follow their secondary account to stay updated. This incident underscores the vulnerability of news organizations to social media platform policies and highlights the importance of media diversity and alternative platforms.
