Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a series of legislative proposals Thursday aimed at limiting children’s social media use and holding technology companies accountable for violations. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has proposed a series of legislative proposals aimed at limiting children's social media use and holding tech companies accountable for violations. The Safe Screens Act would expand age-verification requirements, limit minors' social media usage, and impose penalties on companies that fail to comply with these restrictions. The proposal would also require social media accounts belonging to minors to be shut down between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., unless parents choose to enable access. The legislation also includes a one-strike ban for adults found soliciting minors for sexually explicit material. The proposed restrictions would require legislative action before becoming law.
