TikTok scandal, 48 million views on child sexual abuse videos, Spain demands

The Spanish government has asked TikTok to suspend the operation of the platform in Spain until it deletes all content related to child sexual abuse, it announced on Wednesday, following the publication of a media investigation that identified 1,183 posts with inappropriate content on the platform, which had accumulated millions of views.

Youth Minister Sira Rego, whose ministry does not have direct authority to ban the platform in Spain, has called on prosecutorial authorities and the Data Protection Agency to take action against the social network, according to a ministry statement.

"Social networks cannot be a lawless territory," Rego emphasized.

The request comes months after Pedro Sánchez's government called for an investigation into platforms such as X, Meta and TikTok, alleging that they distribute child sexual abuse material created using artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, European regulators are stepping up scrutiny of big tech companies for harmful and illegal content.

TikTok did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on the matter.

The Spanish non-profit fact-checking organization, Maldita.es, published an investigation yesterday, which revealed that videos containing child sexual abuse content had been viewed on the platform at least 48 million times, while more than 26,000 profiles had commented on and shared this material.

Last night, the organization published an additional investigation, revealing that TikTok had restricted two of the search terms that Maldita.es' investigation had identified as ways users in Spain could find content related to child sexual abuse. However, searches conducted from other European countries continue to lead to the same content.
