Antimemes Law moves forward in the Chamber of Deputies; opposition accuses censorship

The 'Anti-Meme Law' has advanced through the Chamber of Deputies in Mexico, approved by Morena and its allies in the Justice Commission. The law modifies the Federal Penal Code and the Federal Law on Protection of Industrial Property, introducing Article 403 Bis, which imposes prison terms and fines for using institutional graphics, electronic domains, or official documents to deceive people into believing they originate from public institutions. While the opposition parties, PAN, PRI, and Movement City, warned that the law could be interpreted to restrict political criticism, Morena and the PT denied this, stating it would not target humorous expressions. Critics argue the law lacks clarity and could suppress freedom of expression, while some proposed amendments to explicitly protect journalistic, educational, satirical, artistic, and critical uses.
