The bill amends section 501.1736 of the Florida Statutes, which governs social media use by minors. It mandates that social media platforms must terminate accounts held by users under the age of 14 and those aged 14 or 15 without parental consent. The bill also requires platforms to permanently delete all personal information related to terminated accounts, unless legally required to retain such information. Additionally, it introduces a new requirement for social media platforms to disable end-to-end encryption or other data encryption features that prevent parents or legal guardians from accessing their minor children's messages, as well as allowing law enforcement to view messages pertinent to felony investigations involving minors.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The bill aims to enhance the safety and oversight of minors' social media usage by ensuring that parents and guardians have the ability to monitor communications and that appropriate actions are taken regarding account management for underage users.
