Church sees risks in media regulation; calls for 'ethical commitment' to freedom of expression

The Catholic Church has expressed concerns over proposed regulations on media communication in Mexico, warning against any prior censorship of information or expression. It emphasized that freedom of speech requires not just preventing censorship but also protecting individuals' ability to seek truth and make independent judgments without manipulation by economic, ideological, or technological interests. The Church highlighted that Mexican law recognizes freedom of expression as a fundamental right that cannot be subject to pre-censorship, while also noting that this freedom comes with responsibilities such as mechanisms to protect individual rights, including the right to respond. The Church called for ethical responsibility in communication and stressed that diverse opinions within the bounds of truth and human rights enrich democracy. It also urged regulation of digital platforms and algorithms to ensure they serve humanity rather than manipulate or polarize society.
