Florida's governor signed a law that prohibits social networks for those under 14 years of age. Adolescents between 14 and 15 years old must have the consent of their parents.
Judicial disputes are expected for the initiative proposed have existing accounts deleted. "More crimes against children occur on these platforms than anywhere else," was the tailored Republican defense of the law. The Florida ban joins other similar ones that took place in states across the country, which could not come into effect after lawsuits filed by social media companies.
