贡萨洛·索托(Gonzalo Soto)在全国各地学校发生一系列袭击事件后,墨西哥计划下周制定一项法令,要求社交媒体平台检测、报告并迅速删除宣扬暴力、虐待或骚扰的内容。
Mexico plans to have a decree ready next week requiring social media platforms to detect, report and swiftly remove content that promotes violence, abuse or harassment, following a series of attacks at schools across the country.
总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆(Claudia Sheinbaum)表示,科技公司必须分担影响墨西哥年轻人的有害材料的责任,而不是将负担完全留给家长和教师。
President Claudia Sheinbaum said technology companies must share responsibility for harmful material reaching young Mexicans rather than leaving the burden solely to parents and teachers.
Sheinbaum周五告诉记者:“第一个目标是要求数字平台在识别出倾向于暴力、虐待或骚扰的信息或行为后立即删除内容。”她表示,该措施还将寻求防止此类材料被宣传或放大。
“The first objective is to require digital platforms to remove content as soon as they identify messages or actions that tend toward violence, abuse or harassment,” Sheinbaum told reporters Friday. She said the measure would also seek to prevent such material from being promoted or amplified.
媒体报道称,今年墨西哥学校内外至少发生了六起严重袭击事件。最新的一起事件是,两名年轻的成年兄弟周四进入北部城市托雷翁的一所学校,用砍刀和鞭炮袭击教职员工和学生。副校长被杀,四人受伤。
Media reports have identified at least six serious attacks in or immediately outside Mexican schools this year. In the latest, two young adult brothers who were former students entered a school in the northern city of Torreón on Thursday, attacking staff and students with machetes and firecrackers. The vice principal was killed and four people were injured.
谢因鲍姆说:“调查此案的人发现,与其他两三起通过社交媒体进行沟通的案件有相似之处。”尽管当局尚未公开详细说明这些联系的性质。
“Those investigating this case have found similarities with two or three others in which there was communication through social media,” Sheinbaum said, although authorities have not publicly detailed the nature of those links.
由政府法律顾问领导的一个工作组将与安全和教育部、数字机构和情报部门的官员以及学者和外部专家一起起草该法令。该小组将定义平台必须针对的内容,并建立旨在避免审查的标准。
A working group led by the government’s legal counsel will write up the decree with officials from the security and education ministries, the digital agency and intelligence services, as well as academics and outside specialists. The panel will define the content that platforms must target and establish standards intended to avoid censorship.
Sheinbaum说:“我们将召集专家,不仅仅是政府官员,还有墨西哥国立自治大学和其他机构的专家,帮助我们起草这项法令。”
“We will call on experts, not just government officials, but specialists from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and other institutions to help us draft the decree,” Sheinbaum said.
该倡议扩大了她今年夏天开始的解决社交媒体成瘾以及数字平台对儿童和青少年构成的风险的努力。
The initiative broadens a push she began this summer to address social media addiction and the risks digital platforms pose to children and adolescents.
墨西哥还在全国范围内制定了规定,从下个月开始,限制公立和私立基础教育学校在上课期间使用手机,但计划中的教育活动和紧急情况除外。
Mexico has also adopted nationwide rules restricting mobile phone use during the school day at public and private basic-education schools starting next month, with exceptions for planned educational activities and emergencies.
