Meta Threatens To Cut Access To Platforms From New Mexico

Meta is threatening to cut access to its social media platforms in New Mexico. The threat is a response to the state's legal effort to force changes to child safety protocols on its platforms. Meta and the state of New Mexico are expected to proceed to the second stage of their trial this week. A jury recently issued a $375-million award to the state after finding the company misled consumers about the safety of its platforms and its protections for children against predators. The next phase of the trial will focus on what actions the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp must take to address those issues. One of the conditions New Mexico wants is a requirement that Meta meet a 99-percent accuracy threshold in verifying that children on its platform are at least 13 years old.
