Meta Threatens Withdraw From New Mexico & Social Media Access For CA Kids

Meta says it may pull Facebook and Instagram out of New Mexico depending on the outcome of upcoming bench trials that could expose the company to new legal liability. The warning comes as Meta challenges state efforts to hold social media companies accountable, raising concerns about access to major platforms and the broader fight over tech regulation and free speech.  A California bill that would block children under 16 from accessing social media is continuing to advance through the Legislature. Supporters say the measure is needed to protect kids’ mental health, while critics warn it could raise privacy concerns and face legal challenges over free speech and enforcement.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
