Shouldn't this be up to the parents? It isn't about the children. It's about control. Theocratic control and control of any space where minors can make up their own minds of whether they fall on red and blue topics. Clearly the Reds are losing out when accurate information is consumed. Social media sites should just shut off any request coming from Florida.

Florida House Approves Social Media Ban For Minors
January 25, 2024 Politics, RepublicansThe Messenger reports:
The Florida House of Representatives has passed two bills banning social media for minors under age 16 and requiring age verification for pornographic sites, just two weeks into their 2024 legislative session.
With House approval, the bills will now head to the state Senate before making its way to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s desk. If the governor signs both bills, they will likely go into effect in July, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
The measure does not include which social media platforms will be banned for users under 16. State House Speaker Paul Renner, R, said the bill doesn’t focus on content, but on “addictive technologies” and “the courts will decide” what those are.
