Florida House of Representatives approves bill to ban social media for kids under 16 (www.goodmorningamerica.com)

The smarter kids will just go in and change their bday or create a new account that has them old enough. The only way to prevent that is to make them verify ID on every single person logging in from a Florida based ip or is a resident. But, what about those who are traveling from other states, should they also be forced to upload ID? I'm going to say no.

Nothing will change. The adult filters didn't work 30+ years ago and they don't work now.

I see at least 2 ways around this depending on how it's implemented.

Either update age info to be "old enough"

Or

Use a vpn that has you accessing it from anywhere but Florida.

This is just one more waste of time that will be struck down by a court assuming it makes into law.

This is also why we are more likely to notice it. Some of us could teach the scanners a thing or two.
