A federal judge in Florida is considering whether to block a new law that bans social media for young teens, championed by Governor Ron DeSantis. The law would prohibit anyone under 16 from using certain platforms without parental permission. Tech companies are challenging the law, arguing that it is overly restrictive and unnecessary. The hearing in the U.S. District Court will focus on a request to temporarily block the law. Critics of the law, including some lawmakers, say it is not effective and infringes on First Amendment rights. The law does not specify which social media apps are affected, leading to confusion. The Attorney General’s office is responsible for enforcing the law. Governor DeSantis initially vetoed an earlier version of the law but later signed it into effect. The outcome of the case will have implications for social media regulation nationwide.
