A TikTok user is spreading false claims about devastation in Latvia and alleges a Russian children's genocide, prompting calls for TikTok blocking in Latvia and official questioning of the content creator.

On April 25, 2024, a social media influencer on TikTok was found spreading misleading content showing ruins in Latvia, falsely claiming it represents the real situation in the country. Additionally, the user propagated a narrative alleging a genocide of Russian children. This prompted criticism from Latvian online community members and calls to block TikTok within Latvia for spreading harmful disinformation. The author of the TikTok content has been suggested for official questioning or investigation for spreading such hostile propaganda. This incident reflects ongoing information warfare tactics targeting societal perceptions within Latvia.
