Why are the images from the civil and ecclesiastical registry of Hidalgo, Mexico no longer available

I can no longer access the records of several municipalities in Hidalgo or the 1930 census that I have attached to various people in my tree. This has completely halted my research and is quite frustrating, as the names shown there were very useful in helping me make progress.

    As SerraNola mentioned last month:

    The accessibility of records on FamilySearch is dependent upon the privacy laws of the country or state and on contractual agreements with the owners of the images. In June, laws to protect data of the living changed in Brazil and FamilySearch complied with new restrictions. The film you referenced contains baptisms less than one hundred years old and thus cannot be accessed. Records from the 1970's in Brazil are still visible if they are death records.

    Other countries with recent new restrictions are Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, and Honduras.
