“I suggest putting an end to not revealing his identity on social mediaThe Spanish Prime Minister said.
“In our countries, no one can walk in the streets with a mask on their face or drive a car without a license plate. No one can send packages without showing an identifier or buying a hunting weapon without giving his name, and until now We allow people to roam freely on social networks without linking their personal files with a real identity.
“This paves the way for misinformation, hate talk, and cyber harassment because it is easy to use robots, and allows people to act without taking responsibility for their actions.
“Such anomalies cannot continue. In democracy, private citizens are entitled to privacy – not not to disclose his identity or impunity – because with these two social coexistence they will be impossible.
“This is why I think we must pay the principle of the pseudonym as the general elementSanchez added.

In addition to calling for the end of his identity not to be disclosed on social media and forcing platforms to adopt a digital identity portfolio in the European Union, the Spanish Prime Minister called on social media companies to open the black box on its algorithms.
He said: “My second suggestion is to force the opening of the black box for social media algorithms once and forever.”
Sanchez added: “guarantees such as baptism of content and verification of the truth are legal and moral requirements that everyone should follow,” Sanchez added.
Sanchez’s final proposal was to hold the executives accountable for social media personally about not compliance with the laws and rules on their platforms.
