签署了一项总统令,要求包括TikTok、Meta和X在内的数字平台保护儿童免受网络暴力、性内容及其他有害信息的侵害。
signed a presidential decree requiring digital platforms, including TikTok, Meta and X, to protect children from violent, sexual and other harmful content online.
该总统令规定,数字平台必须通过设计限制儿童接触涉及暴力、骚扰或性虐待的内容,并立即删除未成年人个人资料中的任何风险材料。
The decree establishes that digital platforms must, by design, restrict exposure to content involving violence, harassment or sexual abuse, as well as immediately remove any risky material from the profiles of minors.
辛鲍姆周三表示,政府将支持立法,对未落实该总统令的公司进行处罚。
Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that the government would back legislation to penalise companies that fail to implement the decree.
她在周二的新闻发布会上说:“如果没有取得进展,这将成为法律。”
“If no progress is made, it would become a law,” she told a news conference on Tuesday.
她此前在宣布将发布该总统令时曾表示:“目标是让数字平台承担部分责任,避免传播、推广或散布与此类信息相关的内容——包括刑事行为或暴力行为。”
“The goal is for digital platforms to take on some of the responsibility and refrain from disseminating, promoting, or spreading content related to this type of information — including criminal acts or violent behaviour,” Sheinbaum had said earlier when she indicated she would introduce the decree.
该总统令是在10月初,墨西哥北部科阿韦拉州两名18岁青少年袭击其前高中所致一人死亡、三人受伤的事件之后发布的。
The decree comes after an attack by two 18-year-olds on their former high school in the northern state of Coahuila in early October that killed one and wounded three others.
政府顾问路易莎·玛丽亚·阿尔卡尔德表示,数字平台将有一个月的时间来遵守该总统令。
Digital platforms will have one month to comply with the decree, government adviser Luisa Maria Alcalde said.
官员们表示,他们已经就此事与Meta、微软、苹果、TikTok、谷歌、X和华为等社交媒体和流媒体平台的代表进行了讨论。
Officials said they had already discussed the matter with representatives of social media outlets and streaming platforms such as Meta, Microsoft, Apple, TikTok, Google, X and Huawei.
