FL S0792

Beginning January 1, 2024, social media platforms operating in Florida must disclose content moderation policies, use of addictive design features (autoplay, infinite scroll), photo manipulation practices, and methodology for considering the best interests of minors

Platforms must provide zip code-based references to local resources for law enforcement, suicide prevention, and domestic violence prevention, as well as protective measures like screen time controls and parental settings

Minors must read and accept a disclaimer at each login warning that the application may be harmful to mental health, use addictive design features, present manipulated content, and collect and share personal data

Social media platforms that fail to meet the disclosure and protection requirements are prohibited from accepting new accounts from minors and face a $10,000 fine per occurrence of enrolling a minor on a noncompliant platform, with fine proceeds directed to children's mental health resources

Schools receiving state funding are prohibited from requiring students of any age to register, enroll, or participate in social media platforms to access school-sponsored educational activities or materials
