A new ruling about one of the most controversial Florida laws in recent years is symbolizing the culture wars in classrooms.
Young entrepreneurs and activists are worried about a Florida proposal to ban social media for all minors under 16 — even with consent of their parents. The bill passed the House last month and was expected to clear the Senate on Wednesday. Last week, a Senate panel passed the bill 12-5 with only one Democrat, Sen. Rosalind Osgood, D-Tamarac, voting in favor of it.
The bill would prohibit anyone under 16 years old as account holders of any social media platform. It instructs social media companies to implement age verification technology to determine the user’s age and further instructs all current accounts of minors under 16 be deleted.
Are New England states next to have a social media minimum age like the bill being moved forward in Florida?
