Florida can enforce law restricting kids' social media use

Original: Florida wins key ruling allowing it to enforce a law that targets social media use by kids

A US federal court has delivered a key ruling allowing Florida to begin enforcing its law that restricts social media use by children, one of the toughest measures of its kind in the country. The decision clears the way for the state to implement age-based limits and parental consent requirements, while opponents, including tech industry groups, have argued the measure violates free speech rights.

Why now: The court ruling hands a major legal win to Florida and sets a precedent likely to influence other states pursuing similar child online-safety laws.
