Cybersecurity expert: social media self-regulation "has not delivered results"
Jorge Flores, director of PantallasAmigas, an organization that promotes safe and healthy use of the internet and social media, said on 6AM W that platform self-regulation "has not delivered results" because insufficient means are being used to fight cybercrime, especially sexual abuse of minors. He noted that directives exist in Europe and the United States seeking to impose a stricter, more transparent and punishable framework on platforms, and said shutting them down in a country would be neither very possible nor very effective.
