"Florida House Passes Bill Banning Social Media for Under-16s"

The Florida House passed a bill to ban children under 16 from popular social media platforms, targeting sites with addictive features and potential harm to mental health. Proponents argue that social media exposes children to bullying and predators, while opponents claim it violates the First Amendment and takes away benefits from children. The bill would require social media companies to close accounts believed to be used by minors and delete related information, but Meta and others urge seeking alternative solutions and addressing the issue at a federal level.
