Florida House passes bill banning children under 16 from social media: 'Kids can't stay off the platforms'

It’s about time!

I find it interesting that FL always touts that it is a parental rights state, meaning that parents should be making their own decisions about what their children can or can't do rayher than the state. But then it turns around and makes these sweeping laws about things that fall within the parent's sphere of decision making (thinking Healthcare for transgender children or social media). Sounds like FL is having an identity crisis of its own.

How can you even enforce such a law? What are the punishments if it is enforced? Is it really about "protecting" children or getting more money in the coffers from the fines that would be levied?
