Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law, requiring social media companies to remove accounts belonging to children under the age of 14.
Prior to creating an account on websites like Instagram and Snapchat, children between the ages of 14 and 15 must also obtain parental approval.
Companies that fail to delete accounts face legal action from minors who can recover damages of up to $10,000 (£7,908) and fines of up to $50,000 (£39,538) for each infraction.
It is expected to go into effect in Florida in January of the following year, but companies who contend that it is unconstitutional in the US are probably going to challenge it.
Despite admitting that he is aware social media companies will “sue the second this is signed,” Mr. Renner said, “We are going to beat them.” We will defeat them, and we will never, ever give up.”
“We not only satisfied me, but we also satisfied, I think, a fair application of the law and constitution,” stated Mr. DeSantis, who just halted his campaign to be the Republican nominee for president.
The Florida law, according to NetChoice, a trade association connected to news, TikTok, and Meta, creates “ID for the internet” and imposes limitations on all Floridians, regardless of age.
