Spain to probe X, Meta, TikTok over alleged child pornography
The Spanish government has ordered prosecutors to investigate social media platforms X, Meta and TikTok for allegedly spreading AI-generated child sexual abuse material.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday, "These platforms are undermining the mental health, dignity, and rights of our children,".
He added "The state cannot allow this. The impunity of these giants must end."
Earlier this month, Sanchez announced several measures aimed at curbing online abuse and protecting children, including a proposed ban on access to social media platforms for those under the age of 16.
