Even in the Sierra Tarahumara there are cell phones: Sheinbaum warns about childhood addiction to social media

During her morning press conference on Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned about the growing issue of childhood addiction to social media and mobile phones. She stated that cell phone access no longer distinguishes geography or social status in Mexico, noting that even in the most remote communities, such as the Sierra Tarahumara, a majority of children already possess devices.

Alongside these policy warnings and statistical presentations, the press conference also featured a widely discussed viral moment. A minor error occurred during the simultaneous translation of the proceedings, prompting President Sheinbaum to intervene and correct the translator on the spot.
