"Meta is showing the world how little it cares about child safety. Meta's refusal to follow the laws that protect our kids tells you everything you need to know about this company and the character of its leaders."
"Despite Attorney General Torrez's claims, the State's demands are technically impractical, impossible for any company to meet and disregard the realities of the internet."
"For years the company has rewritten its own rules, redesigned its products, and even bent to the demands of dictators to preserve market access. This is not about technological capability."
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed for injunctive relief against Meta, demanding changes to protect children on its platforms. Meta threatened to withdraw Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp from the state. Torrez criticized Meta for prioritizing profit over child safety, while Meta claimed the demands were impractical and ignored other apps used by teens. The conflict escalated following an undercover operation where investigators created a fake teenage profile that quickly received inappropriate content, highlighting concerns about child safety on social media.
