The Veracruz Anti-Meme Law refers to a controversial 2018 legislative move in the Mexican state of Veracruz, officially known as the reform to the Criminal Code regarding cyber-coercion. While intended to combat digital harassment, the broad wording led the public and digital rights activists to label it the 'Anti-Meme Law,' fearing it would be used to silence political satire and online humor. The news sparked a massive wave of meta-memes where creators mocked the government for trying to police the internet. Ultimately, Mexico's Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional in 2021, but the phrase remains a symbol of the struggle between government regulation and online free speech, often used to highlight administrative overreach in the digital age.
