Meta Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Minor Access to Sex Chatbots
A lawsuit filed by New Mexico’s attorney general claims Mark Zuckerberg ignored internal warnings regarding AI safety.

Former policy head Nick Clegg reportedly raised concerns about potential backlash. Meta denies the allegations, arguing the evidence is selective and stating that explicit content was restricted for younger users.
