CNN NEWSSOURCE - Meta advertisers, including Match Group and Walmart, have raised concerns to the tech giant about their ads appearing alongside disturbing sexual content, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez alleged in an updated complaint in his lawsuit against Meta. The updated complaint comes after Torrez sued Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg last month, accusing the company of creating a "breeding ground" for child predators. The lawsuit alleges that Meta exposes young users to sexual content and makes it possible for adult users they don’t know to contact them, putting children at risk of abuse or exploitation. Match Group's CEO allegedly reached out directly to Zuckerberg to note that "Meta is placing ads adjacent to offensive, obscene - and potentially illegal - content, including sexualization of minors and gender-based violence," and said that Match had cut its advertising spending on Meta's platforms.
