BRUSSELS, Feb ‌4 (Reuters) - Social media ‌firm TikTok is "extremely cooperative" ‌with the European Commission's ongoing investigation on potential interference in ‍the 2024 Romanian ‍elections, Commission ‌spokesperson Thomas Regnier said on ‍Wednesday.

"This ​also shows that when you ⁠want to engage with the ‌Commission, we are very happy ⁠to ‍engage with you. Tiktok is very cooperative. They ‍have taken a ‌number of measures," Regnier told reporters.
