Accordingly, individuals-children under the age of 15 are now prohibited from using social media accounts within the borders of Florida. However, “parent-guardian” permission is required for people who are over the age of birth to open a social media account. An open call was also made for social media platforms to start using 3rd party age verification systems in order to ensure age security.
Sites that violate the law “knowingly or recklessly” will be fined up to $50,000 per violation. They will also be responsible for attorney fees and court costs. For permanent violations, penalties such as large damages and a complete ban on the use of the platforms within the region will be decided.
