  "summary": "The Mexican Senate has unanimously approved a reform to the Federal Consumer Protection Law (LFPC) to penalize abusive telemarketing calls and unauthorized commercial communications. The amendments apply to various communication channels, including digital tools and messaging apps like WhatsApp. Companies engaging in persistent contact through calls or other unauthorized channels to offer products without authorization could face fines ranging from 56,570 pesos (US $3,123) to 2.3 million pesos (US $126,982). The bill aims to protect consumer privacy and allow consumers to opt out of advertising.",
