"Florida Legislature Approves Ban on Social Media for Minors Under 16"

The Florida Legislature passed a ban on social media for kids under 16, but Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed skepticism and wants parents to have the ability to override the ban. The bill faces potential court challenges from social media companies, as similar bans in other states have been deemed unconstitutional. The legislation would also require age verification for all Floridians to access social media and adult websites, which has raised concerns about privacy and free speech. Despite concerns about government overreach and parental rights, the bill passed the House with a 108-7 vote.
