In a priority of House Speaker Paul Renner, House and Senate Republicans have filed bills designed to prevent minors under age 16 from having social-media accounts.The House version of the bill (HB 1), filed by Rep. Tyler Sirois, R-Merritt Island, and Rep. Fiona McFarland, R-Sarasota, was released Friday night, while the Senate version (SB 1788) was filed Monday by Sen. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach. They came as the 2024 legislative session prepares to start Tuesday.
House Speaker Paul Renner said social media has a “devastating effect on kids” and that lawmakers should be able to impose online regulations.
The bills propose banning people under 16 from social media, implementing age verification, using independent organizations for verification, and terminating or denying accounts for non-compliance, including existing accounts held by minors under 16, with provisions for parental request of account termination.
