TikTok Accounts Promote Radical Parties Before Czech Election

A group called Online Risk Labs found a bunch of anonymous TikTok accounts in the Czech Republic.

These accounts have been sharing pro-Russia messages and supporting radical political parties before the country's election.

The accounts get millions of views each week, more than some mainstream politicians.

The Czech telecoms watchdog has received complaints and shared them with the European Commission.

The TikTok accounts are promoting parties like the far-right SPD and far-left Stacilo!.

Both parties want the Czech Republic to leave NATO and the European Union.

The group said that the candidates promoted in the posts were not necessarily aware of them.
