Mexico: Introduced Amendment of Federal Law of Telecommunications including content moderation requirement

The amendment of the Mexican Federal Law of Telecommunications and Radiodiffusion is introduced in the Mexican Parliament. The amendment targets the category of “relevant social network providers”, including social media platforms with over a million users in Mexico. The amendment would require relevant social network providers to remove certain types of unlawful content, including "hate speech", "fake news" and other content which the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) designates as harmful to public interest. The amendment does not provide definitions for these terms.
