Meta is child abuse 'breeding ground', lawsuit claims
Facebook and Instagram have become a "Breeding ground" for child predators, the New Mexico attorney general has claimed in a lawsuit. "In short, Meta has allowed Facebook and Instagram to become a marketplace for predators in search of children upon whom to prey," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit personally names Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, saying he "Called the shots" and had denied requests to make design tweaks or investments that would have improved child safety, while making misleading public statements about the issue. "He promised publicly that he directed that Meta safeguard children, but privately demanded and delivered the opposite," the lawsuit said. In June, in response to concerns about child exploitation on its platforms, Meta established a task force on the issue.
