According to Lukasz Lindell, communications manager at TikTok in the Nordics, the account's purchase of ads is not permitted under the company's rules. It also violates EU law.

"This type of investigation rarely reflects reality," he tells P3 Nyheter about the review the channel has conducted.

We are already removing a lot, as much as we can proactively, he adds.

In its review, P3 News has found hundreds of TikTok accounts that regularly spread far-right, racist and Nazi content and disinformation - in violation of the EU Digital Services Regulation.
