"DeSantis Rejects Florida Bill Banning Social Media for Minors"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill that would have banned most children from using social media, citing concerns that it did not allow for parental supervision. DeSantis is working on an alternative plan to address children's access to digital platforms, emphasizing the importance of protecting children while supporting parents' rights. The bill, which would have prohibited minors up to 15 from creating social media accounts, faced constitutional challenges and opposition from tech industry and digital rights groups. DeSantis and state lawmakers are negotiating to address his concerns before the legislative session wraps up.
