SPAIN MOVES TO SUSPEND TIKTOK OVER CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL AS PROSECUTORS OPEN INVESTIGATION
Spain has asked its Data Protection Agency to consider temporarily suspending TikTok after an investigation uncovered 1,183 public posts containing child sexual abuse material that received at least 48 million views. Prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation, while the regulator is examining specific links and sharing information with Irish and European authorities. TikTok has not yet been suspended nationwide, but Youth Minister Sira Rego says the platform should halt operations until the material is removed and stronger safeguards are in place.
