The Decree through which various provisions of the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law are amended and added, was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on April 16, 2021. This Decree establishes the obligation for users of mobile telephone lines to submit biometric data to their providers of mobile phone services.

The improper use of the information that the users of mobile telephone lines are required to submit to the telephone companies affects and puts their integrity, privacy and assets at risk, since there are no clear security controls that guarantee that NO wrong can be done with such information.

We consider that the ideal means of defence to challenge the improper use of the information that users of mobile telephone lines must submit to telephone companies is the amparo suit, with which a District judge will request provisional protection (suspension) so as not to comply with the law until the suit is finally resolved.

At FRALLA we design a “semi-massive” promotion schemes for these kind of suits in order to minimize administrative costs, without hindering the agility of the trial, which is why we put our services at your convenience in this regard.

The deadline for filing the amparo suit for protection expires on May 25, 2021.

We remain at your service for any clarification or comment that is required regarding this publication.
