Tiktok's Polish Elections Labels: Only Sometimes, And Only For Some
Our investigation reveals TikTok's systematic failures in applying election information labels during Poland's 2025 Presidential Election. The platform excluded 20+ million Polish diaspora users from seeing crucial election labels, while allowing election fraud allegations and AI-generated disinformation to spread unlabeled.
