Here's what goes into effect as of Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025. As of Jan. 1, no one in Florida under the age of 14 will be allowed to have a social media account. This controversial bill replaced one that Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed because he wanted parents to have more of a role.

The ban will give social media companies one year to determine how to best implement the age limit and prevent teens and under from having accounts.

Australia’s parliament has passed a law banning social media for children under 16, putting tech companies on notice to tighten security before a cut-off date that’s yet to be set.
