MadridThe Minister of Youth and Children, Sira Rego, has asked those responsible for TikTok to cease their activity in Spain until they remove all child sexual abuse material from the platform and the hundreds of pedophile profiles that an investigation by the media outlet Maldita.es has revealed. If they do not do so, Rego has announced that the Data Protection Agency has been asked to paralyze the activity of the social network in the State in an "exceptional" manner, she said in an address to the media this Tuesday afternoon, after meeting with the company's managers.
