Summary

Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree ordering digital platforms to protect children from accessing adult and other types of content, the government announced . Sites have 30 calendar days to implement the mandatory measures, though they won't initially face any punishment if they don't. Mexico isn't the first country to introduce digital child protection measures, but it's unique in issuing the new rules via a presidential decree rather than new legislation. The rules apply to social media or other platforms that let users create, distribute or share content.
