Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs bill restricting social media access for minors under 16, banning those under 14.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill restricting access to social media for minors under 16, with children under 14 banned from the platforms altogether. The legislation, which takes effect on January 1, requires social media platforms to terminate accounts of those under 14 and under 16 without parental consent, and verify users through a third-party system. The law aims to protect children's mental health by reducing excessive social media usage.
