Peru's Now Nation party, led by César Muedas, proposes adding a new crime to the Law of Cybercrimes, imposing up to 8 years in prison for operating bot farms and trolls in electoral campaigns. The move follows the arrest of Fernando Cerimedo in Bolivia, suggesting a regional crackdown on digital election interference.
