New Mexico judge removes Zuckerberg from child safety lawsuit, but allows case against Meta to proceed.
A New Mexico judge has granted Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's request to be removed from a child safety lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Zuckerberg's company, Meta, has failed to protect young users from exposure to child sexual abuse material. However, the judge dismissed the company's motion to dismiss the state's claims, allowing the case against Meta to proceed. The case is one of many filed by states, school districts, and parents against Meta and its social media platforms over concerns about child exploitation. Meta disputes these allegations, stating it uses technology to prevent suspicious adults from interacting with children and collaborates with law enforcement in investigating and prosecuting offenders.
