The bill amends section 501.1736 of the Florida Statutes to enhance regulations regarding social media use by minors. It mandates that social media platforms provide a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement presents a 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 allowed to view all messages sent or received by their children. It also prohibits minor account holders from using or accessing messages that are designed to disappear or self-destruct, ensuring that such ephemeral messaging is not available to them.

Furthermore, the bill outlines specific requirements for social media platforms regarding account management for users under 14 and those aged 14 to 15. It stipulates that platforms must terminate accounts for users under 14 years of age and for those aged 14 to 15 without parental consent, while also providing a process for account termination requests. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting minors online while also facilitating law enforcement's ability to investigate potential criminal activities involving minors. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
