Judge Removes Zuckerberg from New Mexico Child Safety Lawsuit

Meta remains under scrutiny as the state pursues claims of child exploitation on its platforms.

Judge Bryan Biedscheid dismisses Mark Zuckerberg from the lawsuit but allows the case against Meta to proceed.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez initiated the lawsuit following an undercover investigation.
The lawsuit focuses on Meta's algorithms and design features that allegedly harm young users.
Meta argues it cannot be held liable as its platforms are globally accessible and users agree to terms of service.
Prosecutors claim internal documents show 100,000 children face daily harassment on Meta's platforms.
