New Mexico Attorney General's Lawsuit Against Meta Could Reshape Social Media Industry
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has filed a lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, over concerns about child safety online. The lawsuit seeks to classify Meta's services as a 'public nuisance,' a legal doctrine previously used against tobacco and opioid companies. The case demands significant changes to Meta's platforms, including strict age verification, usage caps for minors, and the removal of features like infinite scroll and autoplay. These measures aim to protect children from addictive content and potential harm. Meta argues that these demands are impractical and could lead to the removal of its services in New Mexico if a resolution is not reached.
