MADRID, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Spain has ordered prosecutors to investigate social media platforms X, Meta and TikTok for allegedly spreading AI-generated child sexual abuse material, as European regulators intensify scrutiny of big tech over harmful and illegal content.
The announcement by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez comes amid a wider crackdown on online platforms, with regulators accusing them of practices ranging from anti-competitive behaviour in digital advertising to deliberate design of addictive features.
