Tyler Sirois, Fiona McFarland legislation would bar Florida minors from social media platforms

 


A bill filed late Friday would prohibit minors in Florida from having social media accounts.

State Reps. Tyler Sioris, a Merritt Island Republican, and Fiona McFarland, a Sarasota Republican, filed the legislation (HB 1). As written, the bill would require tech companies to enact reasonable age verification methods, prevent anyone under 16 from opening an account, and demand platforms delete any existing accounts for underage users.
