A New Mexico judge has approved Mark Zuckerberg's request to be removed from a lawsuit alleging that his company, Meta, failed to protect young users on its social media platforms from sexual exploitation. This lawsuit is part of a larger trend of legal actions filed by states, school districts, and parents against Meta over concerns about child exploitation.
Attorney General Raúl Torrez initiated the lawsuit against Meta and Zuckerberg following an undercover online investigation. While Zuckerberg was granted his request to be dropped from the case, the judge dismissed Meta's motion to dismiss the state's claims, allowing the lawsuit to proceed against the social media giant.
