On '''April 30, 2026''', Meta filed a brief warning it may completely withdraw '''Facebook''' and '''Instagram''' from New Mexico if the court orders sweeping child safety features. New Mexico Attorney General '''Raúl Torrez''' responded the same day, calling Meta's threat a "PR stunt" and accusing the company of "showing the world how little it cares about child safety." The remedies bench trial is set to begin May 4, 2026.<ref name="ap-nmm">[https://apnews.com/article/meta-new-mexico-trial-facebook-instagram-9b3d0594dcf48495469d7441c17e2e10 AP News, "Meta raises specter of shutting down service to New Mexico," April 30, 2026]</ref><ref name="law360-nmm">[https://www.law360.com/technology/articles/2375219 Law360, "New Mexico AG Calls Meta Threat To Leave State 'PR Stunt'," April 30, 2026]</ref> | |||
