Florida Social Media Ban, Jonathan Haidt on Teen Mental Health
Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law banning children under 14 from social media and requiring parental consent for 15 and 16-year-olds. Author Jonathan Haidt supports such measures, arguing in his book "The Anxious Generation" that the "great rewiring" of childhood via smartphones has led to a surge in teen depression and suicide. The law faces immediate legal challenges from tech trade groups on First Amendment grounds.
