Florida State Governor, Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that will forbid children younger than 14 in the state from joining social media.

According to report, children who are 14 or 15 will need their parent’s consent before joining any platform.

The bill, House Bill 3 (HB3), also allows social media companies to delete the existing accounts of users are under 14, stating that organizations that fail to do so could be sued on behalf of the child. As specified by the bill, the minor could also be awarded up to $10,000 in damages and up to $50,000 per violation, as well as attorney’s fees and court costs.

HB3, which is supposed to take effect in January 2025, comes as efforts to control social media continue to grow across the U.S. amid concerns from parents that the platforms do not do enough to keep their kids safe online.

Recall that in December, more than 200 organizations sent a letter persuading the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to schedule a vote on the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, to protect minors from contents that can negatively affect their mental health.

Several states — like Ohio and Arkansas — that have passed similar laws to limit teen social media have been challenged by a league of social media platforms, saying that it violates the First Amendment.
