On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law. This bill prohibits children under the age of 14 from accessing social media platforms within the state. The recently signed bill also requires those aged 14 or 15 to obtain parental consent before joining any social media platform.
HB3, the bill in question, instructs social media companies to remove the existing accounts of those who are under 14. Failure to comply with this directive could result in legal action being taken against the platform on behalf of the underage user who created the account.
