Eduardo Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The Prime Minister, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, welcomed on Tuesday the proposal by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to restrict minors’ access to social media and recalled that “Spain was one of the first countries to promote this debate and to stand up to the techno-oligarchs.”<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ursula von der Leyen warned on Monday, during a meeting of the EU Special Panel on Child Online Safety, of the need to address “one of the greatest challenges facing governments today: how to protect our children online, how to establish a new norm in the future online world.”<\/p>\n

“In Europe, we believe that parents educate our children, not predatory algorithms,” the Commission President stated during the presentation of the report she herself commissioned a few months ago from the Special Panel on Child Online Safety. \u201cIn that regard, I want to be very clear: social media is not a toy. While it ultimately rests with parents to decide when their children receive their first smartphones, we already have a consensus that there must be a starting date for the age at which children can join social media,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross Europe, young people now spend between four and six hours a day in front of screens. Six hours every day: that adds up to twenty years of their lives. At the same time, across Europe, almost 60 percent of young children have experienced emotional or psychosocial problems online,\u201d she warned. \u201cWe cannot expect children to succeed in a system that was never designed with their well-being in mind, when they are most vulnerable,\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the German leader warned, \u201cit is clear that we need age-appropriate restrictions for the platforms,\u201d and, with that goal in mind, \u201cour age verification app is one of the tools to achieve this. It is easy to use, preserves privacy, and is open source. It is about giving power back to parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following Ursula von der Leyen’s remarks, Pedro S\u00e1nchez posted on social media this Tuesday that “the EU is moving towards common regulations to limit minors’ access to social media.” “Spain was one of the first countries to promote this debate and to stand up to the techno-oligarchs,” he continued. “Let’s continue to lead. Guaranteeing a free and healthy childhood is one of the great battles of our time,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

On February 3, during the opening of the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Pedro S\u00e1nchez announced five legislative and regulatory measures by the Spanish government to protect minors and strengthen controls on social media against disinformation, hate speech, and the lack of protection of personal data and material.<\/p>\n

These measures include a ban in Spain on access to social media for those under sixteen (requiring digital platforms to implement effective age verification systems), legal reforms to hold executives legally responsible for violations committed on their platforms, criminalizing the manipulation of algorithms and the amplification of illegal content, developing mechanisms with the public prosecutor’s office to investigate potential legal violations by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram, and creating a tracking, quantification, and traceability system to establish a “Hate and Polarization Footprint.”<\/p>\n

In response to these measures, billionaire Elon Musk wrote on his social network X that \u201cDirty S\u00e1nchez is a tyrant and a traitor to the people of Spain,\u201d and Russian magnate Pavel Durov, owner of Telegram, sent a mass alert to the more than ten million users of his platform in Spain, denouncing the government’s attempt to establish a \u201csurveillance state\u201d and \u201ccensorship.\u201d Meanwhile, Santiago Abascal, leader of the far-right Vox party, accused the government of trying to \u201ccensor young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the techno-oligarchs bark, Sancho, it\u2019s a sign that we\u2019re riding,\u201d Pedro S\u00e1nchez responded on social media, paraphrasing a popular saying (\u201cthey bark, therefore we ride\u201d) erroneously attributed to Don Quixote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
