Santa Fe Trials: State Lawsuit Against Meta Shakes Up Social Media Regulation
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Monday, February 2nd.
We're starting this week with a major legal development that could reshape how states approach social media regulation. The first stand-alone trial brought by New Mexico prosecutors against Meta is getting underway right here in Santa Fe, with jury selection beginning today. Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed this lawsuit back in 2023, accusing the social media giant of creating what he calls a breeding ground for predators who target children for sexual exploitation. The case is built on a state undercover investigation where prosecutors posed as children online to document sexual solicitations and Meta's response. This trial is expected to last nearly two months, with opening statements scheduled for February 9th. Legal experts say a victory here could have ripple effects across the country and potentially around the globe, establishing a new legal pathway for states to go after social media companies using consumer protection and nuisance laws.
Now, if you're looking to get out and enjoy what Santa Fe has to offer this week, there's plenty happening. The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is hosting Late Night Date Night on February 13th, a day before Valentine's Day, where couples and singles alike can enjoy art activities, food from Boxcar, and even make their own Valentine cards through printmaking. Tickets are 15 dollars per person.
Coming up on February 15th, the Museum of International Folk Art is celebrating Lunar New Year with free admission for all New Mexico residents all day long. You'll find live performances including the Albuquerque Chinese Folk Dance Ensemble, lion dance parades, and taiko drumming throughout the day. There'll also be traditional treats and hands-on art activities for the whole family.
For those interested in art and culture, the New Mexico Museum of Art has several events. On February 6th, they're hosting an exhibition of Depression-era paintings by Tom Lea. And on February 7th, they're celebrating the opening of a new exhibit called O'Powa O'Meng, The Art and Legacy of Jody Folwell, with a community day open house running all day.
If you're interested in pottery, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture has demonstrations every third Wednesday, with the next one on February 18th featuring Santa Clara Pueblo artist Jody Naranjo.
This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
