""These platforms are undermining the mental health, dignity, and rights of our children," Sanchez wrote on X. "The state cannot allow this. The impunity of these giants must end." The Spanish prime minister added that his government would ask prosecutors to "investigate the crimes that X, Meta, and TikTok may be committing through the creation and dissemination of child pornography using their AI.""
"Other European governments have also launched investigations, imposed bans, and demanded safeguards in an increasing effort to curb illegal material worldwide. On Tuesday, Ireland's Data Protection Commission announced that it had opened a formal investigation into Grok regarding the processing of personal data, as well as the platform's potential to generate harmful sexualized images and videos, including those involving children."
The Spanish government ordered prosecutors to investigate social media platforms X, Meta, and TikTok for allegedly creating and disseminating AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The government characterized such content as undermining children's mental health, dignity, and rights and demanded an end to platform impunity. Domestic proposals include a ban on social media for under-16s and a parliamentary probe of Meta over potential privacy violations on Facebook and Instagram. European regulators have opened related inquiries, including Ireland's investigation into Grok and French police raids on X amid broader cross-border scrutiny of big tech.
