New Mexico AG seeks $3.7 billion abatement from Meta

Still fresh off its recent $375 million jury verdict against Meta, New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez’s office began arguing for even greater asks in the second phase of a landmark trial.

On Monday, an attorney for the state, David Ackerman, pressed the court for a $3.7 billion abatement plan that would require Meta to fund programs for:

• Mental‑health providers
• Law enforcement
• Educators

Other requests include changes to Meta’s services, such as:

• Implementing age verification
• Achieving a 99 percent detection rate for new child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
• Prohibiting late‑night or school‑day notifications for teens in the state
