Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has instructed prosecutors to investigate X, Meta, and TikTok for allegedly distributing AI-generated child abuse imagery, citing the platforms' role in undermining children's mental health, dignity, and rights. This action follows global outrage over the AI tool "Grok," which allows users to create sexualized images of individuals, with manipulated versions being shared on social media. X, owned by Elon Musk, has restricted some Grok features to paying users, though the separate Grok app continues to generate such content. Spain has been increasingly scrutinizing social media, with prior announcements of a potential ban on access for children under 16 and parliamentary inquiries into Meta's Facebook and Instagram for data protection violations.
