Florida’s Legislature passed comprehensive legislation that prohibits children younger than 16 in the state from having accounts on social media platforms.

The bill would prohibit anyone younger than 16 from registering a social media account, terminate existing accounts of underage users, and require some social media platforms to verify people’s ages when they sign up for accounts.
