Spain to probe X, Meta, TikTok over AI-generated child sexual abuse material
The Spanish government has ordered prosecutors to investigate social media platforms X, Meta META.O and TikTok for allegedly spreading AI-generated child sexual abuse material, Prime Secretary Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday.
The announcement comes as European regulators are cracking down on major tech companies, alleging the prevalence of abusive practices on online platforms ranging from anti-competitive behaviour in virtual advertising to deliberate craft of addictive features on social media .
The three companies named by Sanchez did not immediately answer to emailed requests for remark.
"These platforms are undermining the mental health, dignity, and entitlements of our kids," Sanchez wrote on his X log. "The state cannot permit this. The impunity of these giants must finish."
He said the 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".
Spain is not the only nation probing sexually explicit content generated by Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok on X - o ther governments have launched investigations , bans and demands for safeguards in a growing global push to curb illegal material.
