Social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt recently advised the Mexican government against banning content as the country debates the regulation of social media platforms. During an appearance as a guest of President Claudia Sheinbaum, Haidt suggested that authorities focus instead on the design of digital platforms and the regulation of technological devices to mitigate social impact.
The recommendations come amidst ongoing national discussions regarding how Mexico should address the influence of social media. Haidt’s proposal emphasizes structural changes to technology rather than content-based restrictions, framing the issue as a matter of platform architecture and device usage.
