Interim President Ilie Bolojan on Monday said that, in his point of view, closing a website or an app like TikTok is out of the question at the moment, as that could only happen in exceptional situations.
"Those who are running for office are making all sorts of statements during this period. I cannot afford to make campaign statements. From my point of view, I think closing a website, for example, or an app like TikTok is out of the question in this period, except in some exceptional situations, but I hope we won't face such a situation," Bolojan said on Antena 3 private television broadcaster.
Asked whether, in such a case, he would consider the possibility of banning an online platform, he replied: "I don't think it is good to reach such a situation, and I am convinced that we will not reach such a situation."
Save Romania Union (USR) Chairperson Elena Lasconi, a candidate in the presidential race, said in Slatina on Sunday that a decision to close the TikTok network could be made before the presidential election, "as long as there is a risk of state and non-state influence."
