Florida can enforce state law barring young kids from social media, appeals court rules

A US appeals court has ruled that Florida can enforce a state law that bars young kids from social media, in a decision that may have implications for the social media industry. The law, which was passed earlier this year, prohibits social media companies from allowing children under the age of 13 to create accounts without parental consent.

This ruling matters for social commerce because it highlights the growing concern around children's online safety and the potential consequences for social media platforms that fail to comply with regulations. As social commerce continues to grow, companies will need to ensure that they are taking adequate measures to protect young users and comply with evolving laws and regulations.
