Changes in the legislation as a consequence of the emergence of digital violence in Mexico

Abstract

The emergence and widespread use of information technologies and digital media modified the dynamics of interaction between people and the form of intimacy is one of them. With this, the way of violence in said area was also modified, which transferred any of its manifestations to the virtual plane without problem. The modifications to the different combined state and federal legislations called Olimpia Act in Mexico arise as a reaction to said violence. The objective of this article is to make a comparison between the articles of Mexican legislation before digital violence was criminalized, with the current legislation, as well as the results that these changes have had. The methodology used follows a qualitative approach using documentary research as the main technique as well as the observation of legislative and journalistic material on the subject which made it possible to monitor historical and sociological changes. We conclude that digital violence may have new manifestations as technology silences which will represent enormous challenges for jurists. Likewise, we consider law as a living entity with a great capacity to adapt to the new challenges that societies face.
