The Spanish prime minister dismisses criticism from tech giants as his government pushes ahead with tighter platform rules.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has doubled down on plans to restrict social media access for minors, insisting that pressure from powerful technology figures will not alter the government’s course.
Speaking in Madrid on Thursday, Sánchez accused major platform owners of using their reach to spread misleading narratives about Spain’s proposed legislation, which would block under-16s from accessing social media and hold executives accountable for hate speech hosted on their services.
