The Spanish government asks the Data Protection Agency to "halt" TikTok's activity in the country

The Spanish government, through the Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, has urged TikTok to suspend its operations in Spain until it removes child sexual abuse content and profiles of pedophiles from the platform. This demand is based on an investigation by the media outlet Maldita.es that revealed the presence of such material. In the absence of measures by TikTok, Rego has requested the Data Protection Agency to halt the social network's activity in an exceptional manner. The minister made this statement to the media after a meeting with the company's executives.
