The New Mexico attorney general’s office has asked a judge to prevent Meta from removing evidence of alleged child sexual exploitation from Facebook and Instagram, which it says is related to legal action it is taking against the company.
In court papers filed this week, attorney general Raúl Torrez requested that Meta be ordered to preserve all evidence he says was found by his investigators after they created undercover social media accounts on its social media platforms and posed as children as young as 12.
