The lawsuit accuses Meta of creating a “breeding ground” for child predators.
“The company determined that recruiting and exploiting (or advertising) victims for profit were the most common,” the complaint states.
But New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has said the company needs to do more to protect children and teens.
“Parents deserve to know the full truth about the risks children face when they use Meta’s platforms,” Torrez said in a statement.
“For years, Meta employees tried to sound the alarm about how decisions made by Meta executives subjected children to dangerous solicitations and sexual exploitation.”
