Arrr mateys, Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis be passin' a law that be restrictin' young scallywags from the treacherous waters of social media. No social media for wee ones under 14! Ye best be keepin' yer young'uns away from them cursed screens, lest they be walkin' the plank! Aye!
Arrr, mateys! Listen up ye scallywags! Florida be settin' sail on a new course with one of the strictest bans on social media for young'uns in the whole country. The cap'n himself, Gov. Ron DeSantis, signed the bill into law, makin' it a rule that no child under 14 can have a social media account without parental permission. And for the 15- and 16-year-olds, well, they'll need their parents' blessing too.This law be the top priority of Republican Speaker Paul Renner, and it be takin' effect come January 1st. The original proposal was even more strict, but the cap'n vetoed it and a compromise was reached to soften the blow a bit.Other states be considerin' similar laws, like Arkansas, but Florida be plowin' ahead in hopes that their ban will hold up in court. They be focusin' on the addictive features of social media, like them notification alerts and auto-play videos, rather than the content itself.So grab yer eye patches and buckle up, me hearties! The seas of social media be gettin' choppy, but Florida be steerin' their ship straight and true with this new law in place. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
