Mexico to mandate Meta, TikTok, X to enhance minor protection
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a presidential decree on Wednesday, requiring digital platforms including Meta, TikTok, and X to protect children from violent, sexual, and other harmful online content. The decree mandates platforms to restrict exposure to such content by design and immediately remove risky material from minors' profiles. Sheinbaum stated that the government would support legislation to penalize companies failing to comply, noting that if no progress is made, it would become law. The move follows a school attack in early October in Coahuila state and aligns with a global push to tighten oversight of digital platforms for child safety.
