[México] Reparar tu smartphone o instalarle una ROM será delito en México: la nueva ley que protege los candados digitales, explicada

Repairing your smartphone or installing a ROM will be a crime in Mexico: the new law that protects digital locks, explained

Installing a custom ROM, downloading and using software that does not come from the same provider, and even repairing a phone, involves breaking a digital lock (also known as DRM), which is now expressly prohibited in the Federal Copyright Law. Digital padlocks are technological protection measures that hardware manufacturers or developers use for their copyrights to be protected. In this way, users cannot make a copy of the information that the systems contain and cannot access the software code.

The problem is that breaking padlocks is part of the process to repair a computer, update a device that has been discontinued by the manufacturer, or prevent a device from collecting user information.

The new Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada enters into force on July 1. It was a priority of Congress that before it happened, a series of laws were harmonized, among which is the Federal Law on Copyright. Although civil organizations such as the Network for the Defense of Digital Rights and Article 19 denounced that the law could give way to cases of "prior censorship", and the debate loomed (but did not materialize) in the Senate, the reforms to the Law were approved both in the Senate and in the Chamber of Deputies on June 29 and 30 respectively. The same document established that digital locks must not be broken, with very few exceptions.

Mexico's new copyright law puts human rights in jeopardy

Today, the Electronic Frontier Foundation joins a coalition of international organizations in publishing an open letter of opposition to Mexico's new copyright law; the letter lays out the threats that Mexico's new law poses to fundamental human rights and calls upon Mexico's National Human Rights Commission to take action to invalidate this flawed and unsalvageable law.

In a rushed process without meaningful consultation or debate, Mexico's Congress has adopted a new copyright law modeled on the U.S. system, without taking any account of the well-publicized, widely acknowledged problems with American copyright law. The new law was passed as part of a package of legal reforms accompanying the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Donald Trump's 2020 successor to 1989's North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

How Mexico's New Copyright Law Crushes Free Expression

When Mexico's Congress rushed through a new copyright law as part of its adoption of Donald Trump's United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), it largely copy-pasted the US copyright statute, with some modifications that made the law even worse for human rights.

The result is a legal regime that has all the deficits of the US system, and some new defects that are strictly hecho en Mexico, to the great detriment of the free expression rights of the Mexican people.

Mexico's Constitution has admirable, far-reaching protections for the free expression rights of its people. Mexico’s Congress is not merely prohibited from censoring its peoples' speech -- it is also banned from making laws that would cause others to censor Mexicans' speech.

Mexico's New Copyright Law Undermines Mexico's National Sovereignty, Continuing Generations of Unfair "Fair Trade Deals" Between the USA and Latin America

Earlier this month, Mexico's Congress hastily imported most of the US copyright system into Mexican law, in a dangerous and ill-considered act. But neither this action nor its consequences occurred in a vacuum: rather, it was a consequence of Donald Trump's US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the successor to NAFTA.

Trade agreements are billed as creating level playing fields between nations to their mutual benefit. But decades of careful scholarship show that poorer nations typically come off worse through these agreements, even when they are subjected to the same rules, because the same rules don't have the same effect on different countries. Besides that, Mexico has now adopted worse rules than its trade partners.

'It's a free-for-all': how hi-tech spyware ends up in the hands of Mexico's cartels

Mexico has become a major importer of spying kit but officials are accused of colluding with criminal groups – and innocent individuals are often targeted

Corrupt Mexican officials have helped drug cartels in the country obtain state-of-the-art spyware which can be used to hack mobile phones, according to a senior DEA official.

As many as 25 private companies – including the Israeli company NSO Group and the Italian firm Hacking Team – have sold surveillance software to Mexican federal and state police forces, but there is little or no regulation of the sector – and no way to control where the spyware ends up, said the officials.

“It’s a free-for-all,” the official told the Cartel Project, an initiative coordinated by Forbidden Stories, a global network of investigative journalists whose mission is to continue the work of reporters who are threatened, censored or killed. “The police who have the technology would just sell it to the cartels.”

Over the past decade, Mexico has become a major importer of spyware, as officials insist they need to equip themselves against the powerful organised crime groups that have helped drive the country’s murder rate to record levels.

Mexico moves to require biometric data from cellphone users

Activists and opposition figure are crying foul after Mexico's Senate passed legislation to require cellphone companies to gather customers' biometric data, like fingerprints or eye scans

Activists and opposition figures cried foul Wednesday after Mexico’s Senate passed legislation to require cellphone companies to gather customers’ identification and biometric data, like fingerprints or eye scans.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s Morena party supported the bill, saying it is needed to fight crimes like extortion and kidnapping that frequently involve the use of cellphones.

The legislation, which was already passed by the Chamber of Deputies, would give cell companies two years to collect the data and make it available to the government.

He’s leading Mexico’s probe of the Dirty War. Who’s spying on him? - The Washington Post - June 2023


The lead investigator of @lopezobrador_ truth commission into Mexico's Dirty War was hacked with Pegasus spyware Signs point to the increasingly powerful military behind the attack

Encinas oversees the executive branch’s investigations into the Dirty War and the Ayotzinapa disappearances, which have been attributed to local police and drug traffickers with the alleged complicity of the military. He’s also in charge of efforts to find the more than 110,000 people currently reported as disappeared, a toll that’s risen rapidly since the government launched its war on drug cartels in 2006.

Israel, Cybersurveillance, and the Case of the Ayotzinapa 43 | NACLA – June 2023

Tomás Zerón de Lucio, a key figure in the forced disappearance and subsequent government cover-up of the Ayotzinapa case, is hiding out in Tel Aviv thanks to his close ties to the Israeli cybersurveillance industry.

This month marks eight years since 43 students of the Ayotzinapa teachers’ college were forcibly disappeared from the town of Iguala in Mexico’s Guerrero state. On September 26, however, survivors, families of the disappeared, and the Mexican people at large will face a significantly different anniversary than those of previous years. Last month, the Truth Commission convened by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador published a report finding that the enforced disappearance of the 43 students on the night of September 26, 2014 constituted a “crime of state” in which all levels of the Mexican state participated.
