"Florida House Passes Bill Banning Social Media for Kids Under 16"

The Florida House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban children under 16 from using most social media platforms, regardless of parental approval. The bill targets platforms that track user activity, allow content uploads, or use addictive features. Supporters argue that social media is harmful to kids, while opponents claim it infringes on First Amendment and parental rights. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration amidst ongoing debates about the impact of social media on youth mental health and the role of regulation.
