Meta Allows Minors Access to Sexualized Chatbots
9.1
New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez filed internal Meta documents made public Monday alleging CEO Mark Zuckerberg approved allowing minors to access AI chatbot companions capable of sexual and romantic interactions. The filings show safety staff warned against 'U18' romantic AIs and urged parental controls, while Meta says the documents are cherry-picked. Meta removed teen access last week pending a revised version.
