Caso María Amparo Casar y las veces que AMLO ha puesto en riesgo los datos personales

Caso María Amparo Casar y las veces que AMLO ha puesto en riesgo los datos personales | El Universal

The government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador has fostered a climate of tension with the media, repeatedly accused of curtailing freedom of expression by publicly exposing the personal data of journalists, opponents, and public figures. This practice, justified by the president under the premise of transparency and defense of political authority, has generated an authoritarian image that many consider a form of censorship and harassment, affecting the dignity of individuals and sowing uncertainty in both the business and journalistic sectors. The implications of these actions extend beyond the personal sphere, as the indiscriminate disclosure of private information—from bank records to academic histories—creates a dangerous precedent for citizens’ privacy. By prioritizing alleged political interests over data protection laws, the Executive Branch has weakened individual guarantees and provoked unanimous condemnation from academics, politicians, and civil society organizations, who view these actions as an erosion of the rule of law and an instrumentalization of state power against dissent. This article is crucial for the open data community because it illustrates the distortion between public transparency and the protection of personal data. While open data aims to promote access to government information to foster accountability, this case demonstrates how the disclosure of private data under the pretext of public interest can violate fundamental rights and discourage social participation. Analyzing these conflicts is essential for developing ethical frameworks that clearly distinguish what information should be public due to general interest and what personal data require strict legal protection, ensuring that government openness does not become a tool for surveillance or repression.
