The Prosecutor's Office opens an investigation into the creation and dissemination of child sexual abuse content on TikTok

The Attorney General's Office, led by Teresa Peramato, has initiated an investigation into potential crimes related to child sexual abuse content on TikTok. This decision follows a request from the Ministry of Youth and Childhood, which urged the prosecution to take necessary measures to protect affected children. Elvira Tejada de la Fuente has been appointed to oversee the investigation. Maldita.es reported instances of child abuse material being published and sold on TikTok, including live broadcasts involving minors for financial compensation. This marks the third investigation by Maldita.es regarding TikTok's alleged inaction on child abuse content, having identified over a thousand abusive videos and thousands of profiles potentially involved in such activities.
