On January 22, 2025, at the World Economic Forum, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez proposed linking social media accounts to Europe's digital identity wallets. This would allow nicknames but enable authorities to trace real identities for crimes like hate speech or harassment, addressing bot accounts and misinformation. Part of his pitch to EU leaders, the idea ties into eIDAS 2.0 wallets rolling out by mid-2026 for services like banking, though social media linkage remains just a proposal. The clip has fueled strong pushback, with many viewing it as a step toward greater oversight.

Key Takeaway

In a Davos speech earlier this year, Pedro Sánchez drew everyday comparisons to make his case for change online. He pictured streets without masks and cars without plates, urging a shift from full anonymity.
