Attorney General Raúl Torrez on What's Next in New Mexico's Case Against Meta
About this episode
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez discusses the state's legal case against Meta regarding child safety on its platforms.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued Meta in December 2023, alleging the company made false public statements about the safety of its platforms while knowing internally that its products facilitated child sexual exploitation. On March 24, a Santa Fe jury found Meta liable for willful violations of New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act, awarding $375 million in civil penalties. The next phase is a bench trial, starting May 4, to decide the state's public nuisance claim and determine remedies. Justin Hendrix spoke to Torrez about the types of reforms the state hopes to secure.
