media platforms like Instagram Facebook
etc for children below 14 years of
age Florida's governor Ron de santis on
25th March 2024
sign the bill House Bill three Banning
Social
Media the bill will be implemented as
law from 1st January
2025 the bill does not name any specific
social media sites like Facebook
Instagram or Tik
Tok it only targets social media
platforms that promote infinite
scrawling have live streaming
features and display reaction metrics
such as likes and
comments only social media platforms
with these features are banned many
children below 14 years are glued to
social media for RS and hence the ban
was
implemented
astounding hope hold on does that mean
14 to 15 yearold children can sign up
for social
media no 14 to 15 year old children need
their parents permission to have a
social media
account if their parents approve they
can submit any age proof and start using
social media
children above 15 years are free to use
social media without any
restrictions if children under 14 years
think that they can fake their age show
it as 17 years or so and use social
media then they are wrong there's a rule
for that social media users must submit
their documents of age proof for
verification
surprising hi sorry to interrupt but I
wanted to tell you very special that IPL
has been translated in Indian sign
language and this will be broadcasted on
Star Sports 3 Channel don't forget to
watch while social media apps with the
features of autoplay videos are
banned children below 14 years can use
Tech Centric social media apps like
WhatsApp and
Telegram in a statement Florida Governor
DeSantis said that house bill three has
been signed and children below 14 years
cannot access social media this is
because social media harms
children and this bill will give parents
a greater ability to protect their
children a lobbying group called net
choice say that do they do not agree
with the
ban they said that if children do not
share proof of their age they can not
access social
media then they lose access to critical
information channels provided by these
social media platforms
this is the reason net Choice does not
agree with the new bill as per the bill
social media platforms must permanently
delete the data of existing accounts of
children below 14
years the bill allows parents to file
civil lawsuit if the data is not
deleted let's see how this bill moves
ahead many states in USA are worried
about children being able to access
sexually explicit
content look at the names of these
states in
USA these states have not banned social
media for children
but as per rule the miners need parental
consent to use social media there are
different viewpoints to
this what do you all think should India
band social media for children below 14
