Mexico announces 3 forums to debate social media, AI regulation for minors
Mexico has announced three public forums dedicated to debating how social media platforms and artificial intelligence should be regulated when it comes to children and teenagers. The forums signal that the Mexican government is moving toward formal policy development in this area.
Why this matters: Kids are the easiest group to build political consensus around, and that is exactly why 'protecting minors' often becomes the opening move for broader platform regulation. Mexico joining this conversation matters because rules shaped here will affect millions of young people and set precedents for what governments can demand from platforms. Forums sound open. The real test is whether civil society, not just industry and officials, gets a real seat. Watch what comes out of these discussions and who was actually in the room.
