In February 2025, Expert Forum (Efor) identified Tiktok a coordinated network that promoted theories of globalist theme and anti-system messages. The content was generated through 1,119 videos, many of them coming from accounts that used the hashtag.
“I called the Anka Versace network, the origin of the content being accounts that use this hashtag“Efor explains.
Investigators have identified about 20 accounts with similar names, such as Ankversce1, Ankversce2 and so on. These accounts post videos with the same graphics, anti-system messages, promote some influence and theories of conspiracy.
In March, the Tiktok platform deleted 3,820 videos associated with this network. It is not clear whether the elimination was made by the platform or if the authors themselves decided to delete them. However, the network has not disappeared.
“The network reactivated in April 2025 just a few weeks before the electionI ”, warns Efor. In this new wave, 2,495 new videos were identified, which have accumulated over 40 million views.
Efor worked with context.ro, which offered support in the transcript of 549 videos published from main accounts, such as @ankversace. This collaboration allowed a more rigorous analysis of the operating mechanisms of the network.
The Anka Versace network, experts say, is not sophisticated, but it is efficient by volume. “We believe that such conspiracy networks compromise the integrity of the information space and threaten the correct information of the voters before voting ”warns Efor.
