• The controversies of Pedro Sanchez with Elon Musk and Pavel Durov are sterile controversies that do not solve the real problems of new technologies.
• The announcement to ban social networks for minors under 16 poses major technical challenges and may contravene European regulations.
• The excess power of Musk and Durov to influence public opinion is concerning.
• Scientific consensus on the effects of technology on minors is needed before implementing measures.
• Several investigations are underway against Musk's network for alleged offenses, ranging from algorithm manipulation to complicity in the dissemination of child pornography.
• The Government is trying to divert attention from problems in which it has direct responsibility.
• Europe is behind in terms of technology compared to the United States and China, reducing competitiveness.

Conclusion: It is necessary to protect minors and prevent networks from becoming a tool against Western values, requiring a rigorous approach and the ability to agree, rather than simply demonizing technology.
