Mexico will sign a presidential decree requiring digital platforms to protect minors from violent and sexual content, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday. The move increases scrutiny on major technology firms in Latin America's second-largest economy following a school shooting in Coahuila that left one person dead and three wounded.
