Mexico's Supreme Court on Monday ruled a plan to create a national cellphone user registry with biometric data is unconstitutional in a blow to President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's government, which backed the measure.

墨西哥最高法院周一裁定，一项建立全国手机用户生物特征数据登记的计划违反宪法，这对支持该措施的总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥布拉多的政府是一个打击。

The decision is a relief for cell phone carriers, which would have had to cover the costs of collecting the data.

这一决定让手机运营商松了一口气，因为他们原本不得不承担收集数据的费用。

Out of the 11-member court, nine justices joined in invalidating the registry, which would have included fingerprints or eye biometrics.

在由11名法官组成的最高法院中，有9名法官支持使该登记无效，登记的内容本将包括指纹或眼睛生物特征。
