AG Torrez announced a significant milestone in the ongoing lawsuit against Snap Inc., after a New Mexico court denied the tech giant’s motion to dismiss. The ruling allows the State’s groundbreaking case – aimed at holding the social media platform accountable for its role in facilitating child exploitation, sextortion, and other harms – to move forward.

“Today’s ruling was an important step in our ongoing fight to hold social media companies accountable for the harm they cause to our children. We still have a long way to go, but every tech company should be on notice – New Mexico will not permit the exploitation of our children, and we will not stand idly by while corporate leaders place profits over people.”- AG Torrez
