Florida lawmakers pass ban on social media for kids under 16 despite constitutional concerns
A bill that would be one of the nation’s most restrictive bans on minors’ use of social media is heading to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

Florida doing something good is just fucking wild right now.
This is so the kids stop reading about how fucked up DeSantis (and politicians in general) is, it's not about their safety. That's why it passed.
It's also another brick in Florida's road to queer genocide. If a gay or trans child has bigoted parents, social media is often the only way they can learn about the existence of other people like them.
Ah yes, censoring the youth is always the best way forward
It’s been well documented how bad for kids social media is. Also, not having access to social media is not the same as being censored.
Its been well documented how bad it is for all people who use it, not just minors.
Ice cream and hamburgers are wildly known to be unhealthy too.
I'll believe it when I see a Florida loot box ban.
Absent clear signals they ACTUALLY care about stopping predatory business behavior directed at minors (you know, like directly targeting kids with advertisements) and protecting anyone's privacy (much less that of youths), I'll assume this is part of an agenda at building Good Christian Soldiers.
