The Polish government has asked the European Union to take action against TikTok in response to AI-generated videos calling for Poland to leave the European Union. It says that “there is no doubt this is Russian disinformation”.

Res Futura Data House, a Polish information security analysis group, has recently shared examples of videos from a TikTok account that contain AI-generated videos of young women wearing Polish national symbols and addressing messages to young Poles.

Some of the videos express support for so-called “Polexit” from the EU. Others criticise the pro-EU government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The channel’s profile description also included an anti-EU slogan associated with Polish radical-right leader Grzegorz Braun, who supports Polexit.

On Tuesday, deputy digital affairs minister Dariusz Standerski noted that, “in recent days, TikTok has seen a surge of videos generated using AI, spreading disinformation regarding Poland’s membership in the European Union. The scale of this practice may suggest that we are dealing with an organised campaign”.

Government spokesman Adam Szłaka, meanwhile, declared that “there is no doubt that this was Russian disinformation”. He noted that some of the texts spoken in the video contained Russian syntax.

Standerski also shared a copy of a letter he had sent to Henna Virkkunen, the European Commission for tech sovereignty, security and democracy, requesting that she initiate proceedings against TikTok under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).

In the letter, he argued that the videos “pose a threat to public order, information security, and the integrity of democratic processes in Poland and across the European Union”.

“Available information suggests that TikTok has not implemented adequate mechanisms for moderating AI-generated content,” added the minister, “nor has it ensured effective transparency measures regarding the origin of such materials.”

This “undermines the objectives of the Digital Services Act concerning the prevention of disinformation and the protection of users”. The DSA is an EU regulation that went into force in 2022 and aims to regulate the accountability, moderation and transparency of digital services.

Earlier this month, social media platform X became the first to be found not to be in compliance with the DSA, resulting in it being fined €120 million by the European Commission.

Interweniuję ws. Tiktoka ‼️

W ostatnich dniach na TikToku nastąpił prawdziwy wysyp filmików generowanych za pomocą AI, siejących dezinformację ws. członkostwa Polski w Unii Europejskiej. Skala tego procederu może sugerować, że mamy do czynienia ze zorganizowaną akcją. Zwróciłem… pic.twitter.com/U4S2sX1jm4

The channel sharing the AI-generated videos has now been removed from TikTok after numerous complaints against it by individual users, reports news website Interia.

Investigative news service Konkret24 notes that the channel had existed since May 2023 but previously operated under a different name and posted videos in English unrelated to Poland. Only on 13 December 2025 did it change its name to a Polish one and begin publishing the videos about Polexit.

Recent opinion polls have indicated growing support for Polexit, with two surveys this month showing that 25% of Poles now think that their country should leave the EU. However, a majority still favour remaining in the bloc.

Growing anti-EU sentiment has coincided with a rise in support for Braun, who finished a surprise fourth in this year’s presidential election, and his Confederation of the Polish Crown (KKP) party.

A quarter of Poles now favour leaving the EU, a much higher figure than before, according to a new poll.

Among supporters of the right-wing opposition, 43% now favour "Polexit" while 44% want to remain in the EU https://t.co/UHyHDwygnN
