DeSantis signs ban on kids using social media
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2024
- Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill blocking most kids from social media websites, setting up an expected court battle that could prevent the legislation from ever taking effect.
House Bill 3, passed by lawmakers with bipartisan support this month, forbids kids 13 and younger from creating social media accounts and requires the platforms to seek out and remove their profiles. Kids 14 and 15 would need parents’ consent.
The legislation also blocks all minors from adult websites, requiring all visitors to prove their age before viewing content.
It’s not clear which media platforms would be affected by Florida’s legislation, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2025.

Couldn’t get adults to wear mask for their safety and he wants to keep kids off social media. What a joke
Kids actually wore the masks and most didn’t complain
Cry about it
DeSantis : _"Florida parents have dropped the ball. Therefore, I must step in to protect your children"_
@@SteampunkKittyWorkshoplike they do to families of every race every year
How will this actually be enforced though?
Your mom will enforce
Now everyone must submit government ID. People are forgetting this affects adults too. As you need to submit your ID to prove you are not a child.
This has "Are you over 18? Click -Yes- to proceed" vibes. Does this guy not know what kids at 14 have access to?
Might as well be trying to pass an anti-masturbation law. Who is going to spy on those children all day? I definitely wouldn't have stopped using social media as a kid just because some religious crank politican wanted me to. Utter waste of time for show, nothing but spectacle.
DeSoulless sounds like he's addressing a group of four year olds.
@@Christmode.cry about it. It’s not like you People live in Florida anyway
@@emeerdanvers8090 I don't know what your particular issue is, maybe it's my YT Handle but, you keep coming at me for utilizing my first Amendment Right. This is Americaaa and your opinion will never change that. Gby (go bless yourself)
This is insanity! What even qualifies as 'social media' according to him?! Is it Discord? Is it RUclips? If so, literally every kid there is that's able to use a phone is on one of them. There goes tons of revenue for RUclips and others I guess, they will probably either backtrack on this bill immediately or the companies will not enforce it.
How can it be enforced? Ridiculous
The legal age minimum is already 13 years old. So if your are 12 and under you are already violating social media platforms terms and conditions. With this bill ages 14-15 will require parental consent for use. ID verification has already been implemented in other States.
So much for small government
Lol okay, whatever you say. It's not big government to protect minors from mature content. It's called being a responsible community.
@@user-wm7jh7uk5t Who needs the government or the community to tell them how to raise their child? What happened to don't tread on me?
@@workingbum I promise you that you're someone who definitely needs anyone else besides yourself to tell them how to do anything let alone raise another human being. End of Story
do you think government should have the right to ban kids from drinking alcohol before age 18?
@@lifeofameji I believe that should also be up to parents. I also believe it's poison. BTW, the age limit here is 21.
And how does one enforce this weird bill? lmao
It's all for "SHOW" ... Comrade DeSantis is evil.
It's the social media companies responsibility to enforce.
Why even question
@@user-oe5ey3ex8bit’s the parents responsibility to parent and set up guidelines for their own children.
@@SteampunkKittyWorkshop there are plenty of websites that require you to prove your age before gaining access to. Maybe just be a responsible parent and raise your kids better.
So parents aren’t responsible, De Santis’s nanny state. What a snowflake.
you would know cuz you are one 😂
Who's your daddy now. 😮 DeSantis. 😅
😅😅😅
Another waste of taxpayer money when this gets immediately struck down in courts as unconstitutional. You can’t tell parents that *their children* under 14 years old can’t have social media accounts even if they approve of it. What happened to the party of *“i DoNt Co-PaReNt WiTh ThE gUbMeNt”* 🙄
Yes they can. There is no constitution anywhere in the US except for maybe California that would protect a child's right to expose themselves to mature content or marketing propaganda.
@@user-wm7jh7uk5t Off rip this is a first and fourth amendment violation. You obviously have no understanding of the law or constitution… must be a Republican.
@@user-wm7jh7uk5t "Marketing propaganda" is all DeSantis does. None of this has anything to do with kids and everything to do with control -- of you, and me, and every other adult in this state.
I’m mostly with you but how do you feel about teens smoking and drinking?
@@user-wm7jh7uk5t That literally falls under the first amendment. Love talking about things you don’t understand.
Reducing freedom one step at a time.
So our rights as parents are starting to be taken away, cooooooooooooooooool.
The theocracy tightens its grip on our secular country. Thank God for the FFRF fighting for our rights.
Feel free to stay in or move to one of the few socialist blue states.
Learn what theocracy means, or secular for that matter
@@user-oe5ey3ex8bI would rather be homeless in a blue state where we dont ban social media and hub.
@@user-mn9sv8fr6y As if your socialist blue states don't censor speech. Socialists are the first to censor/ban "disinformation" (speech that disproves the state official narrative). But feel free to stay in your blue socialist utopia where children can be groomed by school boards and social media.
Overstepping. We need a governor, not a dad. Wtf bro? Not your place.
Gfy
@@emeerdanvers8090 Super aggressive. I'm impressed. Just don't hurt the wrong person and remember to utilize the Use of Force continuum. Unhinged.
Vote Democrat.
Such a pointless bill. I can’t wait to get him out
And this is going to be enforced, how???
Social media doesn't corrupt and distract kids. People corrupt and distract kids. We don't need to ban social media for kids, we need more Good Guys with Social Media.
There will be consequences.
😂
Unconstitiaonual. will be struck down. free speech is for all not just adults.
It has nothing to do with the first amendment. Freedom of speech is for people to complain TO the government about unfair laws or laws needed and about the government itself, which is why it is PART of the first amendment and NOT its own amendment.
Our forefathers wanted us to have that freedom to complain to the government, because under the "tyrant" King George III, they would've been arrested, tortured, and publicly executed for TREASON just because they complained about their king. Even today, China, Russia, Middle Eastern countries, etc have NO SUCH FREEDOM.
Welcome to the peoples Republic of China ( Florida )
Those kids are going to have withdrawals, they are going to the gun store and then look out.
Delete your RUclips account.
this would be based if there was a way to enforce it. Theyre not going to punish some 12 year old or under over this. It should go to 18 though.
No they're going to punish their parents for not being actual parents
@@user-wm7jh7uk5t Yeah! Jail the parents! The government has spoken! Obey the government!
Social media should be banned for minors, just like tobacco. The bill doesn't go far enough. 13 is too young. Ed Markey (D-MA) wanted it higher in the original COPA bill.
Bravo it’s about time to protect our children!
I imagine kids wanting to call their loved ones during a crisis, and not having their phone because of this law.
It is possible to completely silence most phones. There's even a "Do not disturb" option to block all notifications.
Flip phones or something like that are an option, PROBLEM SOLVED!
You can have a phone without social media.
Help there is a crisis and I can't get on Facebook to post about! 😱 How will I know if people half-assed are concerned or not?!
How about a Ban to everyone not able to use social media. World would be so much better
At least he's no longer acting like an idiot ...
I can't stand this man but I completely agree with this ! Finally some common sense with technology.
❤❤❤
This man is truly the savior of this country. God Bless you Governor Ron DeSantis!
They’ll just punish all the black kids.
You mean the ones Biden thinks can't work the internet?
Their neighbors will take care of that for them, just like in Chicago
Not get rid of constitutional carry!! Make Them Take a class. And Go through training. And pay the state money And go through an f b I background check like I had to Before.
The constitutional carry bill was Is signed into law.
