We don't allow minors to do a lot of things with age restrictions attached such as drinking, smoking, driving and entering into legal contracts. I don't use anything more social media than this site but wouldn't the terms and conditions on these platforms be considered contracts? If a minor cannot enter into contracts doesn't that preclude them from being able to use the platforms? Just something that popped into my head.

1) He signed a law banning biological males from competing in female sports

2) He signed a law allowing college athletes to be compensated for their image and likeness

3) He has presided over an EXTREMELY low crime rate in Florida

4) He has refused to let illegal immigrants take over the state of Florida

5) He has allowed people to buy homes without worrying if they can be taken over once they leave for any reason

6) He has given people the choice of whether or not they want to take the vaccine

7) He has presided over an economic boom in Florida (during the pandemic, nonetheless)

Cool He won re-election in a landslide over Charlie Crist

9) He served our country and was honorably discharged

10) He forces parents to parent their children

11) He stands for freedom of choice

He acts quickly to solve problems.  As soon as he saw what was going on in CT, he immediately took action to stop males from competing in female sports in Florida.  He also issued a proclamation giving proper credit to Emma Wyant, a talented swimmer who deserved to be NCAA champion.  As soon as he saw the border was not secure, he said, "We are not going house illegal immigrants in my state.  He sent them away.  As soon as he saw the squatter problem, he said, "This injustice will not happen in our state."

When he leaves office, it's going to be a sad day in Florida.  I hope his successor continues his great work and policies.  I hope Florida remains a Republican state for years to come.

^I do see that problem there.  That's why I brought it up.

The idea that the law will sit idle and you can persecute after the fact is a bad thing.

My initial guess is that this is just sort of a "lip service" type bill and it will require you to put in a State and an age at signup and people will just lie about it and create the profile anyway.
I'm surprised you and Hoodie don't see the problem here.  It doesn't matter if you can easily evade the law; by criminalizing the act, it just enables persecution.

To take the comparison further: women who live in Texas can secretly drive to New Mexico for an abortion, but that doesn't diminish the Texas anti-abortion law (SB8) that allows any random person to sue any woman they "suspect" of having an abortion.

No books have been banned. You can purchase any book you that want including all of the ones on any banned list circulated by hysterical liberals. Each school district is responsible for ensuring all the materials in their schools adhere to state education standards but nobody is stopping you from reading whatever you want.
Florida's state government has banned these books in schools, which is the point.

This kind of equivocating on "the books aren't technically banned if you can still buy them" doesn't fool anyone.  By this logic, there hasn't been a vaccine "mandate" anywhere in America... only if you want to use certain public resources, which no one is forcing you to do!

I'm ok with the social media restrictions only because everyone knows it's bad for you and worse when you're a child.
In Florida, a parent has the right to choose not to give their child a vaccine for a deadly infectious disease, but does NOT have the right to allow their child to use social media.  Do you agree with this?

A level up from that would be to require some sort of age identification with a credit card or something, like they do with Texas and porn sites.

It might also be used to harass and condemn people after the fact -- like your kid does something and then everyone latches onto that they had a social media account illegally.

1 - i don't think banning tiktok is in any way constitutional, and runs afoul of the 1st amendment
2 - the hypocrisy in florida is astounding, the "freedom" state banning books and websites

Hell, most adults get carried away with free speech online and can't handle it and we expect kids to be able to? Are they going to require proof of age or something? I haven't read or seen much about this.

When you ask Florida Republicans "Which is more dangerous to children: using Facebook or catching measles?", their answer is loud and clear.

While what you're saying is true, it does give parents an extra tool.  Kids can break the law and their parents consent, but a lot of them won't.

I don't even think it's the right thing to do necessarily, but I do understand it.
