Spanish anti-disinformation association Maldita.es has accused TikTok of failing to adequately block child sexual abuse material, revealing that over 1,000 flagged abuse videos amassed 48 million views on the platform.

MADRID: A Spanish anti-disinformation foundation accused TikTok on Monday of not doing enough to prevent paedophiles from accessing child sexual abuse material or soliciting images from children on the platform.

“Material you would expect to find only on the dark web is on TikTok,” the Maldita.es association said.

In the investigation published Monday, Maldita.es catalogued more than 1,000 videos of child abuse footage, which had been viewed a total of 48 million times.
