上周二，西班牙和希腊提出禁止青少年使用社交媒体的提议。随着欧洲社会对被认为“具有成瘾性设计”的技术态度日趋强硬，这一议题引发广泛关注。

Spain wants to prohibit social media for under-16s, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said. Greece is close to announcing a similar ‍ban for children under 15, a senior government source said.

西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯表示，西班牙希望禁止16岁以下未成年人使用社交媒体。一名希腊政府高级消息人士称，希腊也即将宣布针对15岁以下儿童的类似禁令。

Sanchez said social media platform X has amplified disinformation over his administration's decision last week to regularize half a million undocumented workers and asylum seekers.

桑切斯表示，社交媒体平台X放大了有关其政府上周决定对约50万名无证移民和寻求庇护者进行身份合法化的虚假信息。

The prime minister added his government would introduce a new bill to hold social media executives accountable for illegal and hateful content.

首相补充称，政府将提出一项新法案，追究社交媒体高管在传播非法和仇恨内容方面的责任。

The measures drew fury from Elon Musk, the owner of X. He responded a few hours later, calling Sanchez "a traitor to the people of Spain".

这些措施引发了社交媒体平台X所有者埃隆·马斯克的强烈愤怒。数小时后，他作出回应，称桑切斯是“西班牙人民的叛徒”。
