The Florida governor signed the bill into law on March 25, 'The Guardian' reports.
It takes effect on January 1, 2025.

to have a presence on social media.

a statement in support of the new law.
A child in their brain development doesn’t have
the ability to know that they’re being sucked
into these addictive technologies and to see
the harm and step away from it, and because
of that we have to step in for them, Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, via statement.
Renner also said that social media companies will likely "sue the second after this is signed.".
But you know what? We’re going to beat
them. We’re going to beat them and

Instead of banning social media access,
it would be better to ensure improved
parental oversight tools, improved
access to data to stop bad actors, , Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative,
via news release.
