Child video scandal shakes Spain, government calls for TikTok suspension until

The Spanish government has asked the TikTok platform to suspend activity in Spain until the complete removal of materials containing child sexual abuse, Reuters reported.

The request comes after the publication of an investigation that revealed thousands of illegal profiles and content on this social network.

The Spanish Minister for Youth and Children, Sira Rego, announced that she has asked the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) to consider the temporary suspension of the platform as an urgent measure to protect minors.

"Social networks cannot be a lawless territory," Rego declared, emphasizing that platforms must be held responsible for the content published and distributed through them.

The decision comes after an investigation by Spanish fact-checking organization Maldita.es, which identified 1,183 videos and images containing child sexual abuse material.

According to the investigation, this content had received at least 48 million views.

Also, more than 26 thousand profiles had commented on or shared these materials, while the investigation identified thousands of accounts that sought, exchanged or advertised such materials.

Minister Rego first met with representatives of the organization "Maldita.es" and then with representatives of TikTok, whom she asked to remove all identified materials, cooperate with the Prosecutor's Office, and submit a verifiable report on the measures taken.

According to her, the platform was also asked to explain why it had only removed five of the 50 videos reported through its official channels by the organization "Maldita.es" and to present a concrete plan to prevent similar cases.

However, according to Rego, TikTok pledged to continue the dialogue, without taking concrete measures or clear commitments to resolve the problem.

The Ministry has also forwarded the matter to the General Prosecutor's Office, requesting the review of all necessary measures for the protection of children.

Meanwhile, the Spanish Data Protection Agency has clarified that the decision to suspend the platform does not directly fall to the government.

It has begun examining the matter, requesting from "Maldita.es" the list of links to the reported content and from TikTok information on the measures taken to remove them.

The agency has announced that, after analyzing the materials and the platform's response, it may order the blocking of specific links and content that constitute a violation of the rights of minors.

However, it does not have the power to order the general shutdown of TikTok in Spain.

Çështja ka nxitur një debat më të gjerë në Evropë, mbi përgjegjësinë e platformave sociale për kontrollin e përmbajtjeve të paligjshme dhe mbrojtjen e fëmijëve në internet.
