That last section:

In 2015, a Mexican parliamentarian tried to introduce a law which banned people from making memes that inflicted “unjustified damage to human dignity”.

Legislation proposed by Selma Guadalupe Gomez, congresswoman for Sonora, would have seen offenders punished $1,600,

But the plan backfired in predictable fashion, after she was herself mocked online in a variety of memes. The proposal was later dropped.

How is that a "backfire" and not a reinforcement? And is The Independent pretending sexism was not an issue to the proposal being dropped?
I'm not a citizen of Mexico, and unfamiliar with their constitution, but from the info in the article I do not support the notion. However, this reporting seems terrible.

Not to be confused with the Auntie Mame Law, under which eccentric aunts are forbidden from hosting dinner parties for their nephews' fiancees.
