Where important issues of the day are discussed in a hard hitting but civilized manner.
Rarely does a day go by without New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez making news. Coming off a week in which the First Judicial District Court ordered Meta to pay $567 million and implement reforms in a case widely viewed as a landmark, Torrez was eager to explain why New Mexico’s lawsuit against the social media giant was so consequential.
What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Torrez’s discussion of how his early years as a prosecutor ignited an unwavering commitment to protecting children. That experience continues to shape his approach to laws and regulations governing today’s technology, which he believes, if not adequately regulated, poses a significant threat to society, particularly to young people.
The conversation also covers New Mexico’s investigation into allegations that DEA agents knowingly allowed fentanyl to reach communities; the state’s refusal to release unredacted voter registration lists; and issues surrounding the ongoing investigation of Zorro Ranch.
