Meta says it may withdraw its apps from New Mexico if judge agrees to the state's demands - Engadget

"Meta's response described the state's demands as 'so broad and burdensome that if implemented, it might force Meta to withdraw its apps entirely.' The company argued that it does not make economic or engineering sense to build separate apps just for New Mexico residents."

"New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez dismissed Meta's claims, stating, 'We know Meta has the ability to make these changes. For years, the company has rewritten its own rules, redesigned its products, and even bent to the demands of dictators to preserve market access.'"

Meta warned that it may shut down its apps in New Mexico if a judge rules against it in a trial regarding child user safety. A jury previously held Meta liable for $375 million for failing to protect children from online predators. The upcoming trial will determine if Meta caused a public nuisance and if it should fund state programs. New Mexico's Attorney General dismissed Meta's claims about the feasibility of proposed changes, asserting that the company has the capability to implement necessary safety measures.
