Florida proposes new rules for age verification to enforce a law protecting children from social media and online pornography.
Florida has proposed new rules to enforce a law aimed at protecting children from social media and online pornography. The law, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in March, focuses on age verification to prevent underage access to social media and pornographic sites. Platforms could face lawsuits for unfair and deceptive trade practices if they knowingly or recklessly allow minors access. The proposed rules address reasonable age verification methods and parental verification for children aged 14 and 15. Critics argue that the law is unconstitutional, and similar legislation in other states has been blocked by courts.
