The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced at the World Government Summit in Dubai measures that prohibit access for minors under 16 years old to social networks, requiring platforms to implement age verification. Sanchez emphasized that his government will introduce a bill to hold social media directors accountable for illegal and inciting content. In response, Elon Musk attacked Sanchez on platform X, calling him a "tyrant" and a "traitor to the people of Spain." The Prime Minister urged other European countries to adopt similar measures, mentioning that young people are exposed to a "dangerous digital space." Australia was the first country to ban minors from accessing social networks, and other states, such as the United Kingdom and France, are considering similar measures.
