Sánchez lashes out at algorithms designed to "enslave us" and their owners: "Don't let them blind you with their money"

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez issued a warning against algorithms utilized in modern technologies, describing them as being designed to "esclavizarnos" (enslave us), distort public debate, and monetize human attention for profit. During his address, he also cautioned against the owners of these technologies, advising listeners not to let themselves be blinded by their wealth.

The remarks highlight growing political scrutiny over the influence of digital platforms and automated systems on society. Sánchez's comments place a strong emphasis on the societal risks posed by tech industry practices and the economic motivations driving digital engagement.
