Overview

• Gina Gallegos García of IPN’s Centro de Investigación en Computación formally presented the observatory on July 13 to monitor and address hate speech across social networks
• The proposal calls for coordinated efforts among public institutions, academia and civil society to design technological and regulatory measures
• Creating AI-driven filters capable of automatically detecting and removing discriminatory or polarizing content is identified as the key technical hurdle
• Data from Europe indicate that half of young people faced cyberhate last year while platforms remove fewer than 30% of reported hateful posts
• The observatory must secure federal approval and funding to launch and support Mexico’s national agenda for safer digital spaces
