New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez is reportedly drafting new legislation aimed at enhancing online safety, particularly for children, and strengthening consumer protection laws. This initiative comes just before 29 state attorneys general are set to participate in a federal trial against Meta. The proposed bills are expected to address not only social media but also artificial intelligence and chatbots, with one bill potentially removing penalty caps for consumer protection violations. Torrez's office is also pursuing a separate data privacy case against Meta and preparing a lawsuit against an AI company over a chatbot that has formed emotional attachments with children. AI
