Florida Bans Children From Social Media

The point of the law isn't to ban content per se — it's to regulate how much of it is being exposed to children.

Legislation that would ban TikTok in the United States (unless its Chinese owner divests from the company) is currently making its way through the Senate.

It’s still not clear what’s going to happen to that bill. It overwhelmingly passed in the House by hundreds of votes, but it appears to be significantly less popular in the upper chamber. That’s true, in no small part, because the most intense lobbying campaign in recent memory is underway to kill the legislation. A lot of very powerful interests don’t want to see this ban pass.
