Sensika is proud to take part in the official launch of the Tackling TikTokcracy report, a landmark study developed by the Balkan Free Media Initiative (BFMI) with Sensika as a technical partner. The event will gather senior policymakers, journalists, and experts in Brussels for a high-level discussion on how algorithmic influence operations are shaping democratic processes across Europe.
Understanding Algorithmic Manipulation in Fragile Media Environments
The conversation will focus on how coordinated online behaviour and platform-driven amplification intersect with vulnerable media ecosystems. The newly published report illustrates this through detailed case studies, including insights from the 2024 Romanian presidential elections and upcoming electoral cycles in the region.
