Telegram founder sends a mass message to its users in Spain against Spanish PM, Pedro Sánchez, for the ban on minors' access to social media
Pavel Durov has sent all the Telegram users in Spain a message slamming the measures announced by Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish PM. The text has a heavy political load against the government, and has enraged many users. Yesterday, Pedro Sánchez had to bear with Elon Musk insults for the same issue.
The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has criticized the Spanish government's plans to limit social media access for minors under 16, calling it a threat to internet freedoms. Durov sent a mass message through Telegram, accusing the government of pushing dangerous regulations that could lead to surveillance. In response, Spanish President Pedro Sánchez paraphrased Don Quixote, suggesting that the criticism is a sign of progress. The Spanish government argues that setting a minimum age for social media use is necessary to protect minors from digital abuse and deep fakes. The European Union has also warned against the Spanish government's proposal, stating that it goes beyond the framework established by the European Digital Services Act.
