Overview
- The presidential initiative sent by Claudia Sheinbaum is now before the Chamber of Deputies' Commission on Economy and Commerce with committee consideration scheduled in the week of Sept. 21–22.
- The draft creates Article 114 Nonies to make internet service providers responsible when they fail existing notice‑and‑takedown duties and also contribute to, control, know about, or directly profit from infringing user activity.
- The proposal cross‑references sanctions so providers could face the same penalties as direct infringers, with top bands of 5,000–40,000 UMA (about 4.69 million pesos) and smaller UMA ranges for retransmissions and other commercial infringements.
- Commentators and tech outlets warn that the size and categorical nature of the fines will likely incentivize platforms to remove content on receipt of a claim, which could lead to premature deletion of lawful memes, parodies and AI‑generated posts.
- The reform builds on Mexico's 2020 'puerto seguro' notice‑and‑takedown regime (Article 114 Octies) and cites alignment with T‑MEC; the measure remains in the legislative process and could be amended before a final vote.
