Spain's data protection authority fined El Español €20,000 for publishing an identifiable video of a minor without effective anonymization, breaching GDPR Article 5(1)(c) on data minimisation. The AEPD found the outlet failed to balance press freedom against protection of minors' personal data.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you publish video or images online, Spain now treats identifiable minors as a strict liability issue—anonymisation isn't optional, it's mandatory, and the AEPD will fine first. Any platform or publisher in Europe handling user-generated content needs video detection and blur tooling built in before uploading.
