The bill amends section 501.1736 of the Florida Statutes to enhance regulations surrounding social media use by minors. It mandates that social media platforms implement a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement presents a warrant or subpoena, allowing access to messages relevant to criminal investigations involving minors. Additionally, the bill requires that parents or legal guardians of minor account holders be granted the ability to view all messages sent or received by their children. It also prohibits minors from using or accessing messages that are designed to disappear, self-destruct, or are otherwise ephemeral in nature.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that social media platforms must terminate accounts held by users under the age of 14 and provides specific timelines for account termination requests from both minors and their guardians. For users aged 14 or 15, accounts must be terminated if parental consent is not provided. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting minors online while ensuring that law enforcement can effectively investigate potential criminal activities involving young users. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
