Investigação descobre 1182 vídeos de abuso sexual infantil no TikTok e denuncia inacção da plataforma

An investigation by Maldita.es uncovered 1,182 child sexual abuse videos on TikTok, prompting a criminal complaint against the platform. The foundation claims TikTok promotes sexual content involving minors and has only removed 10% of reported material. Despite TikTok's assertion that explicit content involving minors is prohibited, the investigation revealed that the platform's algorithms lead users to such content. Maldita.es refuses to share findings directly with TikTok, opting for legal channels instead. The Spanish Ministry of Youth and Childhood has called for action against TikTok, suggesting service suspension if necessary.
