The recent clash between Elon Musk and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has garnered significant attention following Spain's proposal to ban social media for children under 16. Musk labeled Sánchez a 'tyrant' and 'traitor,' using a poop emoji in his posts on X, as reported by Sky News Australia. This reaction came after Sánchez announced at the World Government Summit in Dubai that the new regulations aim to protect minors from the 'digital wild west,' describing social media platforms as a 'failed state' due to their lack of accountability for disinformation and hate speech (India Today, Fox News). The proposed measures include holding platform executives criminally liable and implementing a robust age verification process to deactivate approximately 700,000 teen accounts, with assistance from UNICEF experts (India Today).
