Overview
- The Presidential Legal Counsel Luisa María Alcalde presented the draft decree on Friday, and the government says it will be finalized for publication in the Diario Oficial de la Federación early next week.
- The text defines covered platforms as internet services that let users interact and share content and cites examples such as TikTok, Facebook/Instagram and X.
- It lists specific categories platforms must not expose or recommend to minors, including hate or extremist content, sexual abuse or exploitation, suicide and self‑harm material, school violence, harassment and explicit sexual content.
- The decree seeks voluntary compliance and does not impose immediate sanctions, but the presidency said formal regulation could follow if platforms fail to act.
- If published, the measure could force changes to age gating and recommendation algorithms, raise cross‑border enforcement challenges and alter how schools and families confront online harms to children.
