Florida's Social Media ban for minor children blocked by Federal Judge

A federal judge just blocked Ron DeSantis’ controversial social media ban for minors

Ron DeSantis made major changes to education in Florida.

He restored parental rights and put teachers and parents back in control.

But a federal judge just blocked Ron DeSantis’ controversial social media ban for minors.

In a major setback for the DeSantis administration, a federal judge has barred Florida from enforcing its controversial social media ban for minors while a legal challenge plays out in court.

U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued an order Tuesday temporarily blocking key portions of what had been one of the nation’s most restrictive social media laws for children.

The law, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2024, would have banned social media accounts for children under 14 and required parental permission for 14- and 15-year-olds to use these platforms.
