florida lawmakers to send bill to desantis which will keep under 16's off social media

[butters]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida lawmakers gave final passage to a ban on most social media accounts for children under 16, sending the bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has not given his support to it yet.

The Senate passed a revised HB 1 by a 23-14 vote on Thursday morning, and the House passed that version Thursday afternoon, despite concerns the bill ran counter to the state’s recent push for parental rights.

the social backlash will be yuge though it's not guaranteed desantis will sign it. i cannot even believe this made it through to be passed in the first place.

“Why is it the legislature or the government’s place to be doing that for our children?”
