This move comes after an attack at a school in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila on October 1st, which killed a vice principal and injured four others. Two 18-year-old suspects were reportedly arrested at the scene.
Speaking at a regular press briefing, President Sheinbaum said the government wants digital platforms to “bear some responsibility” in preventing the dissemination, promotion, and spread of content related to crime and violence.
According to Sheinbaum, Mexico could develop a new bill, law, or legal framework requiring social media platforms to comply with content control regulations. The government is also prepared to engage in dialogue with technology companies during the policy-making process.
Sheinbaum said the measure aims to help protect Mexican youth from exposure to violent content online.
Several countries, such as Australia, the UK, and European Union nations, have implemented regulations requiring platforms to process or remove violent content. In Latin America, Brazil has also strengthened the legal responsibility of platforms for content inciting violence, while Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica are considering measures to restrict children's access to harmful content online.
