SB 1788 — Social Media Use for Minors
SB 1788 addresses social media use by minors in Florida. The bill was introduced to regulate how minors interact with social media platforms, but it ultimately died in the Fiscal Policy committee. The bill's companion, CS/CS/HB 3, was passed and signed into law as Chapter 2024-42. The legislation aimed to protect minors from potential harms associated with social media use.
