Summary
Florida's HB 3 bars children under 14 from holding social-media accounts and requires parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds, with age-verification mandates. NetChoice and the CCIA - NetChoice's members include Reddit - sued in federal court in Tallahassee. After a district judge enjoined the law on First Amendment grounds, a 2-1 panel of the Eleventh Circuit on Nov. 26, 2025 granted Florida a stay, letting the state enforce the law while the appeal proceeds.
