New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed a lawsuit against Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg, accusing the company of enabling human trafficking and the distribution of child sexual abuse materials. The lawsuit alleges that Facebook and Instagram are "breeding grounds" for predators targeting children for human trafficking, grooming, and solicitation. Torrez claims Meta is aware of the harm their products can cause young users but has failed to make sufficient changes to protect children from sexual exploitation. An investigation by the attorney general's office found evidence that Meta platforms expose underage users to sexually explicit content and allow the distribution of child pornography.
