Mexico to Force Meta, TikTok, and X to Better Protect Minors on Platform
Platforms have one month to comply or face possible penalties, as the decree targets violent, sexual and other harmful content.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a presidential decree requiring digital platforms to protect minors from violent, sexual, and harassing content online.
- The decree follows a recent attack by two 18-year-olds at a high school in Coahuila, Mexico in early October that killed one person and wounded three others.
- Government adviser Luisa Maria Alcalde announced platforms have one month to comply, after officials discussed requirements with Meta, Microsoft, Apple, TikTok, Google, X, and Huawei.
- If no progress occurs, the decree would become law through government-backed legislation penalizing non-compliant companies, Sheinbaum confirmed earlier.
- Mexico's move aligns with global tightening of child-safety oversight in Europe, Australia, and Brazil; Meta previously agreed to an $18bn settlement in a federal case over child endangerment.
