Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday banning children under the age of 14 from having social media accounts in a move he claims will give parents more power to ‘protect’ their kids.
The law would allow 14 and 15-year-olds to use platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, if they have permission from their parents.
Once 16, Floridians could have and use social media freely under the new law.
“Social media harms children in a variety of ways. HB 3 gives parents a greater ability to protect their children,” DeSantis said.
