Image Rights In Overview: Can The Mexican Legal System Tackle Deepfakes?

I. PART ONE: Self Image under Mexican Law

A. Issues

There is indeed image rights protection under Mexican laws. However, protection was "framed" over rules without a systematic structure and that have mostly grown apart from doctrinal principles and standards. Protection has been essentially granted by independent statutes that do not talk each other. Sometimes the statutes overlap, are inaccurate or are technically inconsistent. Deepfakes has become a new global problem that has challenged the laws of Mexico and other countries. As they stand, systems do not offer the best legal solutions against deepfakes. This article will analyze if Mexican laws are consistent and strong enough to protect self image or if they need reform.
