The protection of personal identity on digital platforms is essential to ensure the security of sensitive information about individuals and their public image. Reflecting on our identity in the digital world is vital, as social networks and applications play an important role in interacting with others.
According to recent studies on browsing habits in Mexico, WhatsApp and Facebook are the most used social networks, followed by Instagram, TikTok, and others. This trend reflects how people are becoming increasingly connected and exposed in the digital age.
The use of these platforms focuses on social contact, access to information, entertainment, and online shopping. Therefore, it is crucial that effective measures are implemented to protect personal data and the identity of users.
Among the important measures are end-to-end encryption, two-step authentication, limitations on data collection, and monitoring for security breaches. Furthermore, entities like INAI urge users to review the terms and conditions of the platforms to protect their data and enhance the security of their accounts.
The protection of personal identity in the digital realm is key to defining our perception and relationship with others, so we must be aware of how we share our information on social networks. While celebrating Mexican Flag Day on February 24th, we remember the importance of our national and personal identity, pillars that define us as individuals and as a sovereign nation.
