Freedom, crime and Catholicism 04/28/25

For #society horizontal. To #Nuevarepublic.

Throughout the past week, President Shinbom was forced to stop the Communications Law in this A fast path The Senate presented. Given the increasing criticism against what many view as a measure aimed at guaranteeing government control, the president had to stop her approval in the plenary session. In networks, indicators against articles were present (especially Article 109) that would allow the authorities to prohibit digital platforms and “reduce” the unique contents of the network. Although it was clear that a large part of the population was not aware of the effects of the proposed legislation, at the end of the day, the presidential decision was widely recognized to stop voting by digital users.

It should be noted that this discussion was parallel to the news – which has been positively enlarged by the government itself – that the criminal cartridge recruits young people through Tiktok. The concern of the use of social networks to attract minors was part of the difficult accusations by the digital community. Cybernauts discussed strong demands for the aforementioned platform and others more focused on controlling any kind of content that endangers young people. Social interaction -also focused on the call to promote education on existing risks, as well as the social fabric is strengthened, in order to prevent this type of criminal activities.

In this context, I was surprised that the third news, the death of Pope Francis, would not receive great importance to electronic phones. I was very shocked that in a country of nearly 100 million people know themselves as Catholics (77.7 % of the population), the issue – exceeding the extensive coverage of the traditional media – did not enjoy a lot of participation. The same situation in the international spectrum, if we consider that in the world, there are approximately 1.4 billion Catholics, along with Christians, adding up to 2.3 billion believers. This is the religion that has the largest number of parish people in the world. However, the topic did not generate the participation I was expecting. I take this trilogy of news events to frame some ideas.

1. The debate should be worried about the Communications Law. The government initiative is a clear insult against freedom of expression, which still lives in the social social environmental system. However, the discussion has the tremendous challenges facing the state before criminal activity. How to achieve a balance that, at the same time that full freedoms are guaranteed, the government can act in the face of harmful measures for criminal groups?

2. Mexico College has identified and analyzed a “work method” of about 100 profiles in Tiktok that criminal groups use. As a result, many civil society organizations have indicated that more than 30,000 girls, and boys and adolescents will be in the hands of criminals in this way. The United Nations and other international organizations have expressed concern about this humanitarian crisis.

Mexicans must inform ourselves more about the issues that affect us, and to realize and participate. The dynamics of internal communication, transparency and expression that exist today, thanks to the social networks themselves, must form a complete access tool for coordination with the authorities, with universities and study centers, with economic units, with churches, groups and organized societies, to solve the background in employing young people who today display wonders.

3. The presence of organized crime means one of the biggest challenges we face in Mexico. However, at the global level, humanity faces the risks that its complexity has almost succeeded in a glimpse. One of the global conflicts or famine that we commits today to others, such as “human domination” and a dangerous replacement of man with technology. Catholicism and Christianity seem to require active reactivation of reintegration into the general debate and contributing to building solutions to the problems that made us.

They serve the news last week after the challenges in front of #sociedadHorizontal; Both to build #Nuevarepublic in the country and contribute to human development.
