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.
