Forty-one state attorneys general signed a letter demanding that Meta take “immediate action” to address the “dramatic increase” in account takeovers and lockouts on its social media platforms.
The letter, addressed to Jennifer Newstead, Meta’s chief legal officer, states that the attorney general offices have received an alarming number of complaints from Facebook and Instagram account holders whose accounts have been compromised by “threat actors,” adding that it has also put a “substantial drain on our office resources.”
