Por un lado, han dado visibilidad sin precedentes a expresiones culturales que antes permanecían invisibles para el mundo: músicas regionales, tradiciones indígenas, gastronomías locales y lenguas minoritarias ahora tienen audiencias globales gracias a plataformas como TikTok y YouTube.Por otro lado, esa misma visibilidad tiene un precio. Los algoritmos que gobiernan estas plataformas no son neutrales: están diseñados para maximizar el tiempo de uso, y para ello favorecen contenido que genere reacciones rápidas, que sea estéticamente homogéneo y, frecuentemente, que esté en inglés. Esto crea una presión estructural sobre los creadores latinoamericanos para que adapten su contenido a estándares que no siempre reflejan su realidad cultural.El lingüista mexicano Carlos Montemayor advertía antes del auge digital que ‘las lenguas mueren cuando sus hablantes no encuentran razones para usarlas’. Hoy, esa advertencia cobra nueva vigencia: si el entorno digital no ofrece espacio para el español, el quechua, el náhuatl o el maya, estas lenguas perderán relevancia también en el mundo virtual, acelerando su marginación en el mundo real.La solución no es rechazar las redes sociales, sino exigir que sean espacios más equitativos. Gobiernos, instituciones culturales y la propia ciudadanía tienen la responsabilidad de crear y consumir contenido en sus propias lenguas, de valorar la autenticidad por encima del número de ‘likes’, y de construir una presencia digital que sea verdaderamente latinoamericana.Fuente 2 — Escucha el audio.
