Jueza otorga amparo a usuarios que fueron eliminados de grupo de WhatsApp

A Mexican judge ordered WhatsApp administrators to reinstate users who had been removed from a specific group, ruling that their exclusion violated constitutional rights to freedom of expression and access to information. The decision emphasized that removing participants without legal justification or proper reasoning constitutes an arbitrary restriction on fundamental liberties. This ruling is highly relevant to open data, as it establishes that digital communication channels managed by public authorities are subject to transparency and accountability standards. It reinforces the principle that access to government-related digital spaces cannot be arbitrarily denied, ensuring that civic engagement platforms remain inclusive and open to all stakeholders. The case highlights the growing legal intersection between social media management and public service obligations. It serves as a precedent for how digital governance should respect user rights, ensuring that online tools used for civic participation do not become instruments of censorship or exclusion without due process.
