What can the States do, in the context of their sovereignty, to moderate these actors&#8217; powers? What has been explored in the context of Mexico? This article discusses how Big Tech platforms, such as Facebook and Google, may impact our collective lives and democracy. It highlights the legal implications of access to information and freedom of expression. This research provides an overall legal framework on this issue, to later place in context the Mexican draft bill introduced in 2021 to regulate platforms&#8217; content moderation practices, analyzing its flaws and areas of improvement, and suggesting specific elements for further legal discussion to prevent abuse of power from these companies within the Latin American and Mexican context. A comparative legal methodology is used, resorting to elements of American and European Law, to later discuss the Mexican legal framework.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN ¿Cómo afectan las plataformas digitales el ejercicio de derechos constitucionales?, ¿qué pueden hacer los Estados, en el marco de su soberanía, para regular el poder de estos actores?, ¿Qué se ha intentado en el caso mexicano al respecto? El presente artículo analiza cómo las plataformas digitales del sector Big Tech, tales como Facebook y Google, pueden afectar la democracia y nuestras vidas colectivas. Este artículo resalta las implicaciones jurídicas de acceso a la información y al ejercicio de la libertad de expresión. Esta investigación presenta un análisis general del marco jurídico aplicable, para luego analizar en mayor contexto el borrador de iniciativa propuesto en 2021, que tenía como objeto regular las prácticas de moderación de contenidos en plataformas digitales. La metodología empleada es derecho comparado, para contrastar en un primer momento elementos de derecho europeo y estadounidense, y posteriormente el marco normativo mexicano.]]></p></abstract>
