Purportedly AI-Generated TikTok Videos Reportedly Urged 'Polexit' Campaign, Prompting Polish Government Complaint to EU

December 13, 2025

Purportedly AI-generated TikTok videos showcasing young women in patriotic attire were reportedly propagating the concept of Poland leaving the EU ('Polexit'). These videos circulated extensively in late December 2025. The junior digital minister of Poland expressed concerns that these videos seemed to be testing narratives ahead of the 2027 election and urged the European Commission to scrutinize TikTok's adherence to its DSA (Digital Services Act). TikTok responded by stating it had removed content violating its rules. The incident underscores the importance of trustworthy AI governance, especially in preventing harmful incidents and promoting safe and secure AI practices.
