西班牙部长要求 TikTok 先清除儿童性虐待内容再运营 监管机构拒绝全面封堵并立案调查

西班牙青年与儿童部长 Sira Rego 11 月 10 日要求 TikTok 在清除平台上的儿童性虐待内容之前暂停在西班牙的运营,并已向总检察长办公室与西班牙数据保护局提出请求。她说:「不是政府能单方面暂停 TikTok;如果由我们决定,昨天就停了。」
此事源于西班牙事实核查机构 Maldita.es 11 月 9 日公布的调查:该机构在 9 月 11 日至 10 月 15 日的 35 天监测中发现 1,183 条含儿童性虐待内容的露骨帖子,浏览量至少 4,800 万次,逾 26,000 个账号参与评论或转发;其测试举报的 50 条视频中,TikTok 删除了 5 条、另有 13 条仅在西班牙境内限制。TikTok 回应称其对这类内容零容忍,并对调查的处置方式提出异议,称未获提供完整范围以定位与删除相关材料。
西班牙数据保护局 11 月 11 日宣布立案调查,但拒绝了政府提出的临时全面封堵要求,表示将先向 Maldita.es 索取已识别的链接、向 TikTok 索取其删除措施的信息,再采取针对具体链接与内容的措施。该局同时指出,TikTok 在欧盟的主要隐私监管机构是爱尔兰数据保护委员会,其将与爱尔兰及欧盟其他监管机构和欧盟委员会共享信息。总检察长已下令网络犯罪检察官调查平台上制作与传播儿童性虐待内容可能涉及的犯罪。
Spanish Minister Demands TikTok Suspend Operations Over Child Abuse Material; Watchdog Refuses Blanket Block and Opens Probe
Spain's Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, demanded on November 10 that TikTok suspend its operations in Spain until child sexual abuse material is eliminated from the platform, and appealed to the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD). 'It is not up to the government to suspend TikTok on its own; if it were up to us, it would have been suspended yesterday,' she said.
The demand followed an investigation published on November 9 by the Spanish fact-checking nonprofit Maldita.es, which monitored the platform for 35 days from September 11 to October 15 and found 1,183 explicit posts containing child sexual abuse material, with at least 48 million views and more than 26,000 profiles commenting on or sharing the material. Of 50 videos the researchers reported as a test, TikTok removed five and restricted another 13 within Spain only. TikTok says it has a zero-tolerance policy and disputed the investigation's handling, saying it had not been given the full scope to identify and remove the material.
On November 11 the AEPD said it had opened a probe but rejected the government's demand for a temporary blanket block of the app. It will request the identified links from Maldita.es and information from TikTok on its removal measures, then take targeted measures against specific links and content. The agency noted that TikTok's lead EU privacy regulator is Ireland's Data Protection Commission and that it would share information with Irish and other EU regulators and the European Commission. The Attorney General has also ordered the cybercrimes prosecutor to investigate potential crimes in the production and dissemination of such material on the platform.
