The Ministry of Security filed a criminal complaint against an Instagram profile after the dissemination of content for "instigation to commit crimes"

Argentina's Ministry of Security has filed a criminal complaint against an Instagram account for allegedly instigating violent acts during labor reform discussions in the Senate.

In response to severe incidents that occurred during Senate discussions on labor reform, Argentina's Ministry of Security has taken legal action against an Instagram account for alleged public instigation of crimes such as aggravated damage and resistance to authority. The formal complaint was lodged by Lisandro Manuel Franco, the director of Normative and Legislation, against a profile named "Pedagogía para la acción," which is believed to have been created for ideological training purposes.

The complaint specifically cites a foreign video posted by the account that demonstrates how to create dangerous implements intended for causing damage, particularly to vehicle tires. This action comes amid a surge of criminal acts surrounding the National Congress, where extraordinary sessions have been taking place, highlighting rising tensions and unrest in the political climate regarding labor reform.

The legal move by the Ministry underscores a broader concern over social media as a platform for inciting violence and preparing citizens to engage in unlawful acts. This incident points to the increasing scrutiny of digital spaces by authorities and raises questions about the balance between freedom of expression and public safety in Argentina's contemporary context.
