Florida is on the verge of passing one of the nation’s most restrictive bans on minors’ use of social media after the state Senate passed a bill Thursday that would keep children under the age of 16 off popular platforms regardless of parental approval.
The measure now goes back to the state House, where the speaker has made the issue his top priority during the legislative session that ends March 8. Still, critics have pointed to similar efforts in other states that have been blocked by courts.
The bill targets any social media site that tracks user activity, allows children to upload material and interact with others, and uses addictive features designed to cause excessive or compulsive use. Supporters point to rising suicide rates among children, cyberbullying and predators using social media to prey on kids.
Then they’ll create a state-funded youth social media platform moderated by Matt Gaetz
Don’t Estonia and Ukraine basically have that but it’s also a one stop for government services and programs? Save Matt Gaetz that actually sounds like a pretty dope way to get folks more involved with local government in the tech age tbch.
To get the joke, focus more on the implied audience and that Matt Gaetz is a pedophile.
