The article from MSN discusses how Romania's Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) has invited major tech companies like TikTok, Meta, Google, and X (formerly Twitter) to participate in a "stress test" ahead of the country's upcoming elections. This initiative aims to assess the platforms' capabilities in managing misinformation, disinformation, and other potential electoral interference. The stress test will simulate various scenarios to see how these platforms can handle and mitigate risks during the electoral process. This move reflects a growing global concern about the influence of social media on elections and the need for tech companies to ensure the integrity of democratic processes. The AEP's proactive approach is part of a broader effort to safeguard the electoral environment from digital threats.
