flag Hundreds of anonymous TikTok accounts are promoting pro-Russia messages and radical political parties in the Czech Republic ahead of its October 3–4 parliamentary election, according to a Czech research group. flag The accounts, which collectively reached 5–9 million views weekly, amplified far-right and far-left candidates advocating for exit from NATO and the EU, with no evidence of direct foreign state involvement. flag The Czech telecoms watchdog is investigating whether the accounts are automated, while TikTok and the Interior Ministry have not commented. flag The findings raise concerns about online disinformation influencing democratic processes during a tightly contested election.
