New Mexico’s attorney general is mounting a full-court press(全面施压，全力进攻) against technology companies to improve their child safety measures, capitalizing(利用，获利) on a landmark(里程碑式的，标志性的) win in court against Meta earlier this year.
新墨西哥州总检察长正对科技公司发起全面施压，要求其改进儿童安全措施，并利用今年早些时候在法庭上对Meta取得的里程碑式胜利。
Raúl Torrez is working with state lawmakers to draft(起草，草拟) two new bills(法案，议案) he says will strengthen consumer protections and child safety online. The legislation(立法，法规), expected to be announced in the coming weeks, will build on the state’s case against the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. A jury found in March that the company misled(误导，欺骗) its users about the safety of its platforms and enabled(使能够，助长) harm, including child sexual exploitation(剥削，利用). The social media giant was fined nearly $1bn as a result of the case.
拉乌尔·托雷斯正与州议员合作起草两项新法案，他表示这些法案将加强消费者保护和儿童网络安全。这项立法预计将在未来几周内公布，将基于该州对Facebook、WhatsApp和Instagram母公司提起的诉讼。今年3月，陪审团裁定该公司在平台安全性方面误导用户，并助长了包括儿童性剥削在内的伤害。该社交媒体巨头因此案被处以近10亿美元的罚款。
The trial was the first to hold Meta liable(负有责任的，有义务的) for harmful acts committed(犯（罪），做（错事）) on its platforms. It followed a 2023 Guardian investigation that exposed(揭露，曝光) how Facebook and Instagram had become marketplaces for child sex trafficking(非法交易，贩卖).
该审判是首个让Meta对其平台上发生的伤害行为承担责任的案例。此前，2023年《卫报》的一项调查揭露了Facebook和Instagram如何成为儿童性交易的场所。
