The Attorney General's Office is investigating reports of child sexual abuse on TikTok
The Spanish Attorney General's Office is investigating allegations of child sexual abuse on TikTok, following a report revealing the spread of abusive content. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the Cybercrime Unit of the Attorney General's Office. Pedro Sánchez emphasized that no platform is above the law, especially regarding children's rights. The inquiry will assess whether abusive material can be accessed through TikTok's recommendation system. The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has requested the removal of links to pedophilic material and information from TikTok regarding their actions to address the issue.
