    There are crazy things that are happening during european elections. Swamrs of bots and fake accounts are used to promote anti-EU anti-everything parties.

    There was a case in Romania that president was elected, but tuned out that much of his tiktok was sponsored through Russian and Chinese funds. But highest court overuled election results.

    Facebook bots are being used in Lithuania by the shittiest parties, journalists get bombarded with hate comments after they openly critique those parties.

    I think there’s great threat to every country national security with how social media is managed. However massive ID checks is going to create more problems and it won’t ever pass with German public since they are one of the most privacy conscious in EU.
