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 must permanently delete personal information related to accounts held by minors within 45 days of account termination, unless legal requirements dictate otherwise. Additionally, the bill allows parents or legal guardians of minors under 14 years of age to view a list of account names with which the minor has exchanged messages. For minors aged 14 and 15, similar provisions apply, including the requirement for platforms to delete personal information within the same timeframe and to provide guardians access to messaging information.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that social media platforms must terminate accounts for users under 14 years of age and for those aged 14 to 15 if parental consent is not provided. It also prohibits minors from accessing messages that are designed to disappear or self-destruct. The bill includes provisions for disclosing data to law enforcement under valid legal processes, ensuring that platforms comply with criminal investigations related to minor accounts. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
