Excellent
Honestly whatever happened to Republicans being the party of less government intervention?
in Florida they are like China who also did this lol
This would not be needed if not for the Democratic Party attempting to normalize Gender Queer, gender issues and minor attracted people.
The Democrat party is obsessed with gender ideology, so blame them
tools already exists to monitor children's access to these things ... A. Do not get them a device. B. Install parental control app. C. Educate your children. D. Identify the emotional needs of the child and their individual desires so they do not seek them haphazardly and have boundaries with the world they encounter.
We did not actually need a law.
Agreed. Now when children go behind parents backs and make accounts that they don't know about, parents get thrown in jail!
all according to plan to take children out of the family.
I'm so done with politicians. All of them. STAY AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN.
@@kelsiecaswell9845 I had no idea about the consequences. Thanks for letting me know. Such a dark day indeed.
Free wifi is easily obtained in public places, and the western landscape is littered with used devices. Its not necessary for a child to obtain a usable smartphone from a parent. They can obtain one from a friend or at a flea market or pawn shop, ot just find them laying around. I regularly see them by the side of the road. And then they keep them privately, away from mom and dad.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has been a huge blessing to Florida and its people. Thanks for your care and love of our children.
👏 👏 👏
Very good legislation. They are finally realizing the harm of these apps.
LOV MY GOV!
Total greatness
No the primary platform is family court! Stop the distraction!
#IMPEACHRONDESANTIS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Internet access should be blocked in every school except in the cafeteria.
they cant enforce this and he knows it this is just smoke and mirrors
Watch him
Speaking about smoke!? You might want to give it up!👌
Well said and Done Ron DeSantis 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤡
glad its his job to decide what is good for kids because he reminds me of that creepy uncle that I would not let my kids close too, my guess is we will find out some really dark nasty secret that he is hiding
Im glad because protecting childern takes a village and inappropriate stuff ends up online. They help predators find there own families. And give them harmful images and resources to misuse
Total Garbage
Only garbage thing is you people are allowing the government and technology to raise your children instead of doing it by yourself
Hmm what is DeSatan up to this time?
He vetoed it on the 1st so what changed?
Elections
The new technology is destroying the young generation, so glad to hear you guys are working on this big issue.
> Keep up the GREAT WORK < 👍
No it’s not it’s parents that don’t want responsibility. Just like drunk parents and drug addicted parents. My kids were always restricted by a certain amount of use, and me watching everything. Now they will come after you.
no way you arent a bot
You know that's said of every generation, don't you? And yet, we survive.
When you were growing up, did the drinking and driving ages stop you or your friends? Yeah, didn't think so.
Kids will lie about their age
Need this bill in all 50 states. Rfk jr 2024 #Rfkjr2024 or Joe you do this.
So proud of a law that's not enforceable. Kids are very tech savvy. If they want to get on social media they will. Anyone that thinks this will keep them off doesn't understand technology at all.
yep companies arent gonna bend over for Florida lol facebook, google and the millions of other apps arent gonna put age restrictions on their apps or sites for them
Does this allow Florida to go after the social media companies if they don't enforce it? That's the only way I see this making a significant impact: You can fine them. That's what the EU does with tech companies, and it is highly effective.
They had to make this law because PARENTS don't want to invade their kids "privacy"!! When did kids deserve privacy??
all kids deserve privacy because they are human and all humans have a need for privacy. Kids are not property or less than human they are people with thoughts, feelings, and needs.
@anitacrumbly 1st, My kids are just that, "MINE" and they'll be "MINE" until they're able to make a life on their own, but until they're able to work, IT'S ME that pays for EVERYTHING they need including the COMPUTERS that are required and the PHONES that are PRIVILEGED which I go through RANDOMLY because that's what RESPONSIBLE PARENTS are supposed to do! I PROTECT WHAT'S MINE TO THE DEATH because they're not able to protect themselves mentally or physically from idiots that prey on kids that are allowed PRIVACY that secretly go on certain apps only to be manipulated to do things they wouldn't normally do then finding themselves in a position THAT I WILL NEVER ALLOW MY KIDS TO BE IN!!!
My kids belong to me, making them MY PROPERTY!!
PRIVACY is earned and that doesn't start at 12 or 13 years old!!
That's for parents that want to be FRIENDS with their kids instead of BEING THE PARENTS that teach, protect, love and DISCIPLINE when they do wrong!! My kids are RESPECTFUL, POLITE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY!! ARE YOURS?? DOUBTFUL!!
No human is property, well you will find out at 18. i warned you to be a healthier parent because authoritarian parenting doesn't allow kids to feel safe to come and talk to you when there is trouble, it causes a higher risk for aggression, depression, anxiety, addiction, and if spanking is involved higher risk for mental illness. anger issues, chronic illness, high blood pressure, lower life expectancy. It also in some cases leads to estrangement once kids are old enough to realize they deserve to be treated with respect and are allowed to have boundaries. There have been various studies done in the last 20 years that show all of this.
Authoritative parenting is a lot healthier and in treating your child like a human being they are able to learn how to regulate their emotions not just stuff them down so you don't get mad at them for "showing attitude or talking back" which is usually not attitude or talking just normal kids trying to voice their own opinions calmly. Please take a look at authoritative parenting your kids deserve to be treated like the good human beings they are @@FATBOY2126

@anitacrumbly Thank you for your LIBERAL EVERYBODY GETS A TROPHY but CAN'T TELL TIME WHEN SHOWN AN ANALOG CLOCK way of raising WEAK children!! Go ahead and pamper your kids while mine learn how to succeed in the REAL WORLD!! In my home, there aren't negotiations ,no arguments, no votes!! When you have a job and your boss tells you to do something, You don't ask why!! You do it because THAT'S YOUR JOB!! If you don't understand that, it won't surprise me!!
God Bless Ron DeSantis for making our world a safer place for all our children. The state of Florida is on the cutting edge of protecting our children. Hopefully, other conservative states will follow similar suit.
The bill doesn't go far enough, everyone in Florida should be banned from using social media, especially the adults.
This "new" technology has done this before...
Ever wonder how the World Fair buildings were built in the 1800s in ways we are not capable of today?
Young 8 year olds did that? Weird.
Great governor 👍🇺🇸💪
So proud of my Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Did you mean....USELESS? ROTFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SzymczykProductions Oink me
Protection of minors is important. 😊
I very much like DeSantis and what he does, but I will contest this as an overreach of governmental authority.
He should not have done this, and instead should have left this in the hand of parents.
How is this overreach? he is simply trying to put laws into place for social media protection for minors. do you not want kids to be safe from predators, bullying, hate, suicide, and pornography? once they are of age they can watch stuff if they want. but its about teaching and protecting minors from the harms of social media and seeing things online that they shouldn't be seeing. no overreach here and they still have freedom of speech.
People like them want the government to do everything and when they don't blame them. Nothing wrong with your kid not being on tick tock. I don't think they will implement it well.
Not that hard to seperate!! Due to wildfire i had to move. Local cable sucks so just watch RUclips and DVDs. Stopped ALL take out fast food 20yrs ago, no soda 10+yrs ago. Just dropped cholesterol almost 50pts limiting fats, no packaged snacks. Olive oil, some chicken, mostly wild caught fish, 1 boiled egg everyday, no sweets because i do not crave them but occassional dark chocolate/ Reeses Pnut butter/no high fructose corn syrup. Make salad dressing, olive oil, plain youurt, honey, etc. Good luck as you learn to get more out of life limiting ALL bad influences 😂
Disantis is failing the public. I have a story and he chooses not to address it to protect women and children from predators in family court.
They keep saying addiction it's not addiction, i have a degree in psychology. Social media is how kids socialize nowadays malls are dead there is nothing in them, there are no arcades, parks are dangerous and if kids congregate elsewhere they are kicked out for loitering so social media is their outlet especially kids who are abused at home or kids who are "different" for whatever reason (mental illness, chronic illness, etc.) they find community and friendship online. Also most of the time kids are socializing with their real life school friends, no one calls anymore because it's seen as awkward and unnecessary gamers use it to play together and there is a real tangible feeling of socialization. Are there bad things about social media of course but that's where parents need to have discussions about online safety, check in about feelings and nurture a sense of confidence/autonomy and by teen years not dependence on someone else to regulate their emotions or activities. Is there trafficking yes but again that is why you need to have discussions with your child about the warning signs and what is really out there and how they target children kids are smarter than you give them credit for they are humans with thoughts feelings needs and opinions just like you. This is definitely government overreach and they are using scare mongering to make you feel like it's a good idea. Did you know that too much social media for adults has the same outcomes and adults also get trafficked and more adults than kids are scammed online if this gets passed through the courts then there is precedence for them to ban social media for you and that means stopping the freedom to share news, thoughts, opinions with others. To say this is a slippery slope is to put it lightly.
You start off by mentioning your degree in psychology, which seems like an attempt to establish your credibility. While your background is important, it's the substance of your argument that really counts. You make some sweeping statements about social media being the primary outlet for kids nowadays, dismissing other forms of socialization like going to malls or parks. your arguments suggests that regulating social media for children could lead to broader censorship or restrictions on adult use, without providing sufficient evidence or reasoning to support this claim. I hear your concerns about potential government overreach and censorship, as well as the importance of social media for kids' socialization. However, we can't ignore the growing body of evidence highlighting the serious risks associated with excessive social media use among children. While social media can indeed provide a sense of community and support for kids facing challenges like abuse or feeling different, we can't turn a blind eye to the very real dangers lurking online. Studies have consistently shown the detrimental effects of excessive social media use on mental health, including increased rates of anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation among young users. Furthermore, your argument seems to downplay the unique vulnerabilities of children in the online space. Unlike adults, children may lack the maturity and critical thinking skills to navigate the complex landscape of social media safely. They are more susceptible to cyberbullying, online predators, and exposure to inappropriate content. Regulating social media for children doesn't have to mean stifling their freedom or censoring their interactions. Instead, it's about implementing age-appropriate safeguards and educational initiatives to help kids make informed choices online. Just as we teach children how to cross the street safely or avoid talking to strangers in the physical world, we need to equip them with the tools to protect themselves in the digital realm. Moreover, by addressing the risks associated with social media early on, we can empower kids to develop healthier online habits and cultivate a more positive relationship with technology. This isn't about fear-mongering or restricting their access-it's about ensuring that they can enjoy the benefits of social media while minimizing the potential harm. while social media can be a valuable tool for communication and connection, we must prioritize the safety and well-being of our children. By implementing sensible regulations and promoting digital literacy, we can create a safer online environment where kids can thrive without sacrificing their freedom or autonomy.
@@michaelgroux839 I bring up my degree so that a reader might understand that I have studied emotional & behavioral development from embryo to death at old age and so am not just talking out my butt.
I didn't dismiss other ways to socialize i brought up malls and parks etc. "malls are dead there is nothing in them, there are no arcades, parks are dangerous and if kids congregate elsewhere they are kicked out for loitering " that's not dismissing that's just the truth of the matter unfortunately especially after covid. I do agree we need to address the potential harm i see the studies but how can we do that if kids have no interaction with social media so we can have these discussions with them.
"This isn't about fear-mongering or restricting their access-it's about ensuring that they can enjoy the benefits of social media while minimizing the potential harm." you say this isn't about fear mongering but i haven't heard a single thing in any of these speeches about mental health or getting your child a therapist if you think they have been affected all i keep hearing is "what about the children did you know there are child predators out there?" and it definitely is about restricting access this bill would make it illegal for kids to go on social media even if that means apps made for them like youtube kids, or kids messenger etc.
" Regulating social media for children doesn't have to mean stifling their freedom or censoring their interactions. Instead, it's about implementing age-appropriate safeguards and educational initiatives to help kids make informed choices online." but will that actually happen? the educational initiatives and i still think it's up to parents to place safeguards they feel is appropriate. I agree things should be age appropriate but again these are discussions to be had with their parents all children are not the same development wise. This is stifling the freedom of kids to reach out for help, this is stifling the freedom and censoring what children can learn that is actually beneficial to them that can help them in the future technology is here to stay and coding is a part of a lot of jobs even in a basic way learning technology skills is extremely important and i have concern that this ban will hurt that possibility of kids to learn about wonderful topics that they either don't teach in schools or can't teach in schools like history or science. Most of all i worry about what will happen when after all this fear mongering parents will say oh no social media till you leave my house and boom they are susceptible to all sorts of stuff that they aren't prepared for because instead of teaching them along the way as they grew up they were forced to stay off social media their entire adolescent life.
Also if you were worried about cyberbullying just wait till you have the kids whose parents will allow them on their accounts vs. the kids not allowed on social media see who is bullied then. It happend before with clothes, shoes, back in late 90's with the internet. speaking of which I have been on the internet since netscape dial up days as a child myself and there were just as many creeps and even more crazy things to see online for all to see. My father sat me down and told me the dangers out there and explained what to watch out for while checking in on how I was doing emotionally and if I had any questions about anything online weekly. An open and clear communication type relationship with your child is really what's needed not government overreach. As far as the slippery slope argument I made well look at texas they basically outlawed porn sites (no government should need you to show an ID before allowing you on websites) again more censorship for adults based on the argument "oh what about the children!". No this is just too much and I truly hope that desantis leaves office soon along with that texas governor.
Republicans always spouting about freedom but yet they are the ones that keep outlawing things and banning things that's not freedom at all.
Every state should do the same. Block the satilite completely
It's good that he's worried about issues related to children, but what about the housing crisis in Florida? Also, why is DeSantis not doing something about the insurance companies ruining the livelihood of ciitizens who cannot afford home and auto insurance? We need affordable car insurance. Had I not had uninsured driver in my policy I would have lost my car. I need to work and the current laws do not help. I wish that the governor would pay attention to the needs of the working class in Florida.
its fed issue ask joe
all of the things that op listed can be regulated by the state @@RobertZemeckis2025
Glad to see that DeSantis is back to doing the right thing instead of trying to help the Democrats stop Trump... 💥
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No sound?
Use an alternate search engine such as DuckDuckGo.
go ask your kids for help...oh wait you can't this is a social media site
Minors- downloads one of many free to use VPNs lol.... sure looks good for the politicians though
yes no way to enforce this at all the companies arent gonna do age verification just for Florida this is just more bs to look like hes actually doing something when hes actually doing nothing but his voting block will fall for anything "Florida we get things done' indeed why not just kick companies out of Florida
No you are not doing a good job. Stop gaslighting
This bill is nothing but theater. Does anyone really think this is going to do anything? Even if you agree with the premise that kids shouldn't have these accounts (which is separate from my point here), how on earth is anyone going to enforce this? For the adults reading this.... whom do you call to fix your computer, your phone, your router, your printer, your (pick any electronic device)? It's your kids because they know how these work and how to manipulate them. No matter how many rules you put on these accounts, kids will open them w/o their parents knowing or getting their permission. Furthermore, how is this going to be monitored? All a kid has to do is say they are 16 (or whatever age doesn't require permission). Kids don't have driver's licenses with pic and DOB to verify. They don't have credit cards, etc. So, like the bathroom bills, just how are these going to be enforced? These types of laws are nothing but theater to show you "did" something even if we all know it won't work. More wasted money and time. On top of that, this is a Florida-only law. All a kid has to do is fool the platform they're from another state. So easily bypassed.
yep these companies are not gonna bend over for Florida cause it made a new law lol it needs to be federal for them to actually do anything but hes voter base will lap it up as if he actually did something smh
Yeah, it's classic "Think of the Children" posturing. Pure theater.
This is a good idea, but at the same time, it's also a government overreach into the anonymity and privacy of people
plus its not at ll enforceable with out federal help
"A good idea" Said in the 30s about movies
In the 40s about comic books.
In the 50s about television
In the 60s about rock and roll
In the 70s about metal

Mr. Ron has been doing a great job.
Dictator! Now if we can just get rid of Trump, Getz, Jordon, and MTGreen, maybe we can get back to semi-normal.
why is it the job of the state to do what the parents should be doing? L.
This kind of stuff perfectly exemplifies the difference between libertarians and conservatives. Are the groomers under your bed right now Ron?
its what every communist state does lol
@@L0toI'm a conservative. I just don't think that government overreach is necessary.
@@FirstUsername I can respect that. I was just trying to point out that so often republican legislators stomp on personal liberty in the name of purported conservative principles and you can even see in the comment section here how many laud it. Depriving people of liberty in the name of security runs antithetical to libertarian values.
Because the parents aren't doing it.
I’m watching, I am I am.
Another awesome common sense law in the Great state of Florida!! May God’s rich blessings be upon this bill and upon the children 🙏🏻

Good
We need more leaders to put their foot down like DeSantis. To say enough is enough while staying inline with our constitution.
kids also have the right of free speech so no this is not inline with our constitution because i'm sure if they took your social media away you would cry free speech!

Who abuses social media 🤔 Adults like Dumbsantis and his party. Not children
You're right. Children are not impressionable while watching or observing anything . No pedos on the Internet. He's saying that they can't have an Instagram. Ya know. The device weirdos do to search your kid. Weird to protect the young.
Like in china
Best Governor ever
Lol ~ sure that’s why homes and insurance scam people.
I have witnessed social media being an outlet for young people to escape some of the most dull ... uninspiring parents and families. When so many people are dullards - unconscious ... why would you not want to give a child every means to escape? What do you say to the children you are now harming?
exactly so many kids from abusive households use social media as a means of escape the harm they are also isolating kids who are looking for community when they feel alone in mental illness, chronic illness, being "different" in any way. This is all just stupidity.
