Mexico
Mexico has no DSA-style platform-transparency or accountability regime; its 2025 telecom and data-protection overhauls touch platforms only narrowly, and every child-safety and age-verification duty remains a proposed bill.

Transparency
Public ad libraryDSA Art. 39
No public ad-repository mandate; PROFECO only fines misleading ads under consumer law, and the LMTR merely bars selling ad space to foreign governments.
Source ↗Transparency reportsDSA Art. 15 / 24 / 42
No content-moderation transparency-report mandate in the 2025 LMTR.
Source ↗Researcher data accessDSA Art. 40
No vetted-researcher data-access mandate; the only data-access duty is a tax-authority feed on false-invoice ads.

Accountability
Systemic risk assessmentDSA Art. 34–35
No systemic-risk duty in force; proposed only in the 2026 federal minors bill.
Source ↗Algorithmic transparencyDSA Art. 27 / 38
No recommender-transparency mandate; the 2025 data-protection law only requires disclosing automated decisions in privacy notices.
Source ↗Regulator + penaltiesDSA Art. 49–52, 74
No dedicated platform-governance regulator; the CRT's 0.01%-10%-of-revenue fines attach only to the foreign-government-ad ban, not to transparency failures.

Child protection
No profiling ads to minorsDSA Art. 26(3) / 28
No ban on profiling ads to minors; the 2025 LFPDPPP only requires parental consent to process minors' data.
Source ↗Age assuranceBeyond the DSA
No in-force age-verification mandate (an acknowledged legal vacuum); proposed in a Feb 2026 federal bill and parallel Senate/state bills.
Source ↗Child-safety duty of careDSA Art. 28
No platform child-safety duty of care in force; proposed in the 2026 federal minors bill.
