Latin American digital and minor protection legislation

Overview

Latin American nations are implementing legislative measures to combat digital violence and protect minors.

In Ecuador, a proposed law aims to sanction digital violence against women, including harassment and the non-consensual distribution of AI-manipulated content. Mexico is pursuing reforms to address cybersecurity, social media safety, and cyberbullying, while Argentina’s Río Negro province is considering the ‘Ley Ema’ to address digital violence in schools. In Colombia, efforts have been made to regulate influencers to ensure transparency and protect third-party images.

Brazil has moved forward with Law 15.487/2026, which expands criminal penalties for sexual violence against children and adolescents, specifically targeting crimes committed in digital environments or involving artificial intelligence. Additionally, new legislative proposals in Brazil seek to increase penalties for obscene acts in public facilities to provide further protection for minors in collective spaces.
