Spain to Probe X, Meta, TikTok over AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Material
Spain accuses X, Meta and TikTok of spreading AI-generated child abuse content, with 82% public support for banning social media use by children under 14, officials said.
- Ordering prosecutors to investigate, Spain signalled enforcement against social media platforms X, Meta and TikTok for allegedly spreading AI-generated child sexual abuse material, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said.
- Earlier this month, Spain announced measures amid European regulators' crackdown and Australia's December under-16s policy, creating a broader international context.
- Other governments have opened investigations into sexually explicit content generated by Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok on X, while Elon Musk called Sanchez a `traitor to the people of Spain` and Pavel Durov called the moves steps toward `total control`.
- European regulators' increased enforcement raises legal risks for platforms, and Australia's $33m fines and account cut-offs of roughly 4.7 million accounts show possible consequences.
- This positions Spain alongside European regulators pressing Big Tech, as Sanchez said `The impunity of these giants must end` and support in Spain for age bans reached 82 percent.
