Spain's data protection watchdog AEPD has launched a probe into TikTok over the alleged proliferation of child sexual abuse material, following an investigation by Maldita.es. The Spanish government has rejected the AEPD's decision not to block the app, and the attorney general has ordered a separate investigation into potential crimes related to child sexual abuse material on TikTok. TikTok has not responded to requests for comment. The AEPD plans to request information from Maldita.es and TikTok and will take measures such as blocking access to specific content. The Spanish government has also lodged cases with the Data Protection Agency and the public prosecutor's office.
