Mexico to mandate online safety measures for minors after school attack
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced she will sign a decree obligating digital platforms to block violent and sexual material for children and teens.
The decree, set to be signed later today, will require social networks and streaming services to filter out content deemed harmful to minors. Sheinbaum presented the measure in response to a recent school assault in Coahuila that left one dead and three injured. The policy aims to increase oversight of major tech firms operating in Mexico, one of the region's biggest economies. Authorities say the rule will protect young users from exposure to graphic or explicit material.
Why it matters
It introduces nationwide online safeguards for children, reflecting growing concerns over digital exposure to harmful content.
