Tlalnepantla government launches digital violence prevention campaign

The municipal government of Tlalnepantla, led by President Raciel Pérez Cruz, has initiated a prevention campaign against digital violence. As part of a broader State of Mexico government initiative, the local administration organized a masterclass titled “En redes, no te enredes” at the Instituto Tecnológico de Tlalnepantla (ITTLA).

The workshop, led by Olimpia Coral Melo Cruz, president of the Colectivo Defensores Digitales, focused on analyzing the impacts of online harassment and cyberstalking. Participants discussed the risks posed by advancing technologies and artificial intelligence, including disinformation, extortion, and discrimination.

Authorities highlighted existing legal frameworks in the country that penalize sexual privacy invasions with prison sentences of up to six years. The ITTLA administration reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring technology is used responsibly to protect the integrity of the student community.
