description	In Mexico, several studies exist about what young people do on the web and how they interact in these environments; however, concerning southern Tamaulipas, there are no specific studies that address the characteristics of these practices. The objective of this work is to present a diagnosis of the uses and appropriations of digital platforms among young people in the southern region of Tamaulipas, Mexico, among high school and college students. The methodology is quantitative, based on a descriptive non-experimental design. A statistically representative sample from the municipalities of Tampico, Ciudad Madero, and Altamira, was designed with a 95 % accuracy and a margin of error of +/- 2 %. A questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of 1 222 young students, in which the intensity of use and navigation profile of various digital platforms was evaluated. These platforms include general information pages, information or product exchange, digital social networks, educational and learning sites, as well as entertainment. The findings show that two fundamental elements mediate the processes of use and appropriation of digital platforms: a technical component, related to the interactivity resources provided by the platform itself, and a socio cultural component that relates to the life story, social and cultural capital, personality and expressive capacity, as well as the digital skills and intrinsic motivations of young people. In conclusion, this study allows us to problematize the phenomenon of the appropriation of digital platforms from the local level and to propose intervention routes that take advantage of the identified potential of digital skills, collaboration and content production.

En México, existen diversos estudios sobre qué hacen los jóvenes en la red y cómo interactúan en estos entornos; no obstante, en lo referente al sur de Tamaulipas, no existen investigaciones específicas que aborden las características de estas prácticas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue diagnosticar el uso y apropiaciones de plataformas digitales entre jóvenes de la zona sur de Tamaulipas, México, en su calidad de estudiantes del nivel medio superior y superior. La metodología es cuantitativa, a partir de un diseño no-experimental descriptivo. Se diseñó una muestra estadísticamente representativa de los municipios de Tampico, Ciudad Madero y Altamira, con un 95 % de nivel de confianza; a partir de la que se aplicó un cuestionario que obtuvo la participación de 1 222 jóvenes, en el que, se evaluó la intensidad de uso y perfil de navegación de diversas plataformas digitales, como páginas de información general, de intercambio de información o productos, redes sociales digitales, páginas educativas y de aprendizaje, así como de entretenimiento y diversión. Los hallazgos muestran que los procesos de uso y apropiación de estos entornos están mediados por 2 elementos fundamentales: un componente técnico, referido a los recursos de interactividad que provea la propia plataforma; y un componente sociocultural que remite a la historia de vida, el capital social y cultural, la personalidad y capacidad expresiva, así como las habilidades digitales de los jóvenes. Este estudio, desde lo local, permite observar la homogeneidad en el uso y apropiación de las plataformas digitales de los jóvenes, al tener un sentido pasivo en cuanto al empoderamiento a través de estas herramientas, para aprovechar los potenciales identificados de habilidades digitales, colaboración y producción de contenidos.
