Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill that will ban social media accounts for children under 14 and require parental permission for 15- and 16-year-olds, focusing on addictive features such as notification alerts and auto-play videos. This law, if it withstands legal challenges, will be one of the most restrictive social media bans for minors in the country. The bill was slightly modified from a previous proposal and will take effect on Jan 1. Several states, including Arkansas, have considered similar legislation.
