Florida passes a law restricting minors' use of social media. Teenagers between the ages of 14 and 15 will need parental consent to register on these platforms.
Most platforms set the minimum age to open an account at 13 years, but it is easy to circumvent this rule. Some critics of the law say it is up to parents, not authorities, to monitor their children's social media use. Others worry about potentially violating the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of expression. The law will come into effect next January in Florida.
