The Spain government has instructed prosecutors to investigate social media platforms X, Meta, and TikTok for allegedly hosting and spreading AI-generated child sexual abuse material. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the move on Tuesday, emphasizing the government’s commitment to safeguarding children online and tackling emerging threats posed by artificial intelligence.

The investigation comes amid growing concerns over the use of AI to create synthetic child abuse content, which complicates detection and regulation. Authorities will examine how these platforms monitor, report, and remove illegal material, and whether current safeguards are sufficient to prevent AI-generated content from reaching users.

Spain’s action aligns with broader European efforts to hold tech companies accountable for harmful content and strengthen online safety measures for minors. The government has urged social media firms to cooperate fully and implement stricter preventive measures while the investigation is ongoing.
