A Florida bill that would prohibit kids under 16 from signing up for most social media platforms has passed the state House of Representatives.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/11431091

The House passed the bill by a vote of 106 to 13, with many Democrats joining the chamber’s Republican majority in support of the bill. It now heads to the Republican-controlled Senate for consideration.

    Reducing child labor laws, banning books, banning abortion, banning LGBTQIA+ related-activities and banning gender-affirming care…it’s clear they have a certain direction they want to take today’s youth. I expect that FL is leading towards a religion-based upbringing for the youth in their state.

      And who is the “they” in your conspiracy theory? And what do you mean by “upbringing”? I feel as though you’re trying to claim schools are ultimately pushing this agenda. Is that your intention?

        The Republican Party, particularly its populist wing. As far as schools, many are being forced into a variant on it through educational legislation such as don’t say gay bills and the book bans. Many charter schools seem to be intentionally aimed at this as well. But traditional educational institutions haven’t been willingly doing this which is part of why they’ve been subjected to these legislations and the political targeting against them in favor of things like “school choice”
