Many European countries have electoral laws, limiting spending. If they care about enforcing those laws, they might have to suspend social media that won't respect those laws during campaigns.

OTD in 1939 USSR staged the Mainila incident. A false flag to justify invasion, we claimed Finland attacked us just as hundreds of thousands of our soldiers were accidentally massed in attack formation right on their former border.
