During President Claudia Sheinbaum's morning conference on March 11, 2026, Women’s Secretary Citlalli Hernández announced an agreement with Google, Meta, and TikTok to prevent and address digital violence against women. Elon Musk's platform X did not join the pact, citing a lack of offices in Mexico. Hernández criticized X as one of the networks with the fewest mechanisms to combat this type of violence.
In the morning press conference on March 11, 2026, Citlalli Hernández, head of the Women’s Secretariat, presented an agreement between the Mexican Government and platforms like Google, Meta, and TikTok to strengthen the prevention and response to digital violence against women. The pact aims to address cases of harassment, non-consensual sharing of intimate content, and online attacks.
Hernández explained that X, owned by Elon Musk, did not participate in the meetings or sign the agreement. “X argued that they have no offices in Mexico and did not participate in the meetings despite it being where most of this type of violence occurs. It is one of the platforms with the fewest mechanisms to combat violence against women,” the official said. Despite this, the government will review actions for women reporting violence on that social network.
The agreement includes nine preventive actions, such as reviewing community guidelines on social networks, creating a Digital Security Guide, educational campaigns, and strengthening tools against violence. It also outlines eight response actions, including guides for reporting content, linking to the 079 hotline option 1, cooperation with authorities for investigations, and removal of violent or intimate content.
To report incidents, victims should first flag content on the platform for violating community standards and then call 079 for legal advice. Hernández noted that Mexico is a pioneer with the Olimpia Law, which criminalizes the non-consensual distribution of intimate content. President Sheinbaum said she might be the first to use this mechanism.
