However, human rights activists, press freedom organisations, and legal experts are wary of the impact that certain provisions of the law may have on freedom of expression in Mexico. In particular, these groups have raised concerns over the lack of an independent body to oversee the use of data gathered under the cyber-surveillance system foreseen by the law, which the government has justified as a necessary tool to fight endemic crime.

Communicating with encrypted channels carries a number of benefits, such as “the feeling that you have a private space [which] means that you can communicate freer, there is more democracy in your thoughts and in your mind”.  That is one the main forces that multimedia journalist Christian Payne says drove him to adopt encryption in his daily work long time ago.
