Mexico to require digital platforms to protect minors from violent, sexual content

Mexico City, October 14 - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced plans to sign a decree later on the same day, which will compel digital platforms such as social media and streaming services to safeguard children and adolescents from violent, sexual, and other harmful content. The decree aims to intensify oversight of major technology companies in Mexico, one of Latin America's leading economies, following a tragic incident.

On early October, two 18-year-old former students attacked a high school in the northern state of Coahuila, resulting in one fatality and three injuries.
