Spain Probes X, Meta, TikTok on AI Child Abuse Content
Spain has ordered an investigation into X (formerly Twitter), Meta, and TikTok for failing to address AI-generated child abuse content on their platforms. The move follows pressure from child safety advocates and lawmakers who argue that these platforms are not doing enough to prevent the creation and distribution of AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The investigation is expected to examine the companies' content moderation practices and their use of AI to detect and remove harmful content.
