Florida Enacts Ban on Social Media for Minors Under 16

Florida's Legislature has passed a bill that would prohibit young people under 16 from having social media accounts on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, potentially affecting millions of young Floridians. The measure, which has not yet been signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, would also require social networks to prevent underage sign-ups and terminate accounts of known or suspected underage users. This move could face constitutional challenges, as federal courts have previously blocked similar laws in other states.
