Spanish investigators, citing a child-safety reporting foundation, say more than 1,000 videos and related content depicting the sexual abuse of children have been found circulating on TikTok over a period of tracking. Euronews reports that the Maldita.es foundation identified this material within 35 days, and that the figure includes suspected paedophile profiles.
The reporting also says Spain’s Ministry of Youth and Children seeks urgent explanations from TikTok and raises the possibility of suspending the platform. Free Malaysia Today and The Local describe the foundation’s criticisms of TikTok, including claims that the company is not doing enough to prevent paedophiles from accessing such material or soliciting images of children.
Across outlets, the core focus remains the same: allegations of child sexual abuse content on TikTok, the role of the Maldita.es investigation, and pressure on TikTok from Spanish authorities. Differences mainly concern the specific time window and the prominence of certain details, such as view counts or whether suspected profiles are explicitly mentioned.
