Florida advances social media ban for kids
A U.S. Federal Appeals Court has permitted the state of Florida to implement a law prohibiting children under the age of 14 from creating accounts on social media platforms. The court rejected a lawsuit filed by technology companies that claimed the law violated constitutional free speech rights. The law aims to regulate children's use of platforms containing features that may cause addiction, such as autoplay videos and continuous scrolling, in order to protect children's mental health. The decision approved the cancellation of a previous court order that had blocked the law's enforcement, thereby expanding Florida's efforts to regulate social media usage among children.
