Overview
- Morena deputy Israel Moreno Rivera introduced the initiative in the local Congress to empower education authorities to oversee students’ use of social networks and digital platforms during school hours.
- The proposal targets minors under 15 and would allow authorities to condition use in public spaces on parental or guardian authorization, including in parks, plazas and libraries.
- The draft includes age-verification measures, content restrictions, strategies to limit unsupervised screen time, and digital literacy education.
- Early cross-party support was reported, with backing from PAN legislator Laura Álvarez and PRD coordinator Nora Arias.
- Supporters cite IFT 2024 findings that most children use online video and social media, along with a UN study showing about one-third of young people have faced cyberbullying.
