Is Romania a wake-up call for social media regulation in Brussels ?

Will the role of TikTok in the Romanian presidential elections prove a test for Brussels’ enforcement of social media? The video playing app played a significant role in the rise of Calin Georgescu, a previously little-known candidate who won the first round of Romania's national elections.

However, TikTok refutes its impact on the poll, citing its strict guidelines banning political ads and combating covert influence operations.

The platform is also bound to follow transparency rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which entered into force in 2023.

Today Radio Schuman dives into the topic with Richard Woods, International Policy Director at the Global Disinformation Index.

On the second segment of the podcast, we take a look at significant parliamentary committee meetings and recommendations by EU health ministers.

In the last part of the show, Radio Schuman looks at the 2024 Oxford Word of the year - spoiler alert: it involves social media platforms.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim and Georgios Leivaditis. Music by Alexandre Jas.
