President Sheinbaum's morning press conference covered a range of important topics on Friday, including preparations for Hurricane Simon's potential landfall on Mexico's Pacific coast this weekend and a new decree aimed at protecting minors from harmful online content. The hurricane, currently a Category 1 storm, could intensify to a Category 3 or 4 and may impact one of five Jalisco municipalities or Manzanillo in Colima.
Civil Protection chief Laura Velázquez urged residents to stay informed through official channels. President Sheinbaum's legal adviser, Luisa María Alcalde, presented a decree that would prohibit social media and online platforms from displaying or recommending content to minors that promotes hate speech, violent extremism, sexual exploitation, violence, suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, cyberbullying, or illegal conduct.
The decree, based on the Mexican Constitution, will be reviewed further before being published in the official gazette next Tuesday or Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Sheinbaum was informed about a violent prison fight in Mazatlán on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of ten inmates, including a two-year-old boy visiting the facility, and injuring sixteen others.
