Florida Enacts Legislation Restricting Social Media Accounts for Minors
Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill prohibiting minors under the age of 14 from having accounts on social media platforms. In addition, the bill, known as House Bill 3 (HB 3), requires social media companies to delete the existing accounts of users who are younger than 14 or who the company believes are likely younger than 14, and to comply with requests made by the minor account holder, or a verified parent or guardian, to delete a minor’s account. Finally, the Bill requires minors who are 14 or 15 to obtain parental consent before joining a social media platform. Social media platforms are similarly required to terminate the accounts of users who are (or are likely) 14 and 15 for targeted content or advertising unless parental consent is obtained, and to honor deletion requests.
