HB 1541 — Transparency in Social Media
HB 1541 — Transparency in Social Media aimed to require social media platforms to provide transparency about content moderation policies and algorithms, particularly as they relate to minors. The bill sought to address concerns about children's exposure to harmful content and algorithmic feeds that may contribute to mental health risks. It was introduced in the 2024 Florida legislative session but was rejected after dying in the Fiscal Policy committee on March 8, 2024.
