New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has called the company’s social media platforms a “breeding ground” for predators who target children for human trafficking.An ongoing court case in the US has put the spotlight back on Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta – the parent company of Facebook and Instagram – for allegedly failing to protect children from sexual predators on the social media platforms.
