Today, we focus on a topic that interests us the most.
Online Protection for Minors
Florida now prohibits all children under 14 years old from having social media accounts. For children and adolescents to create an account, they need the consent of an adult, such as a parent. Additionally, adult websites are required to use age verification services.
For instance, Australia has already become the first country in the world to legally ban social media usage for individuals under 16. Violating this law can result in fines exceeding 45 billion KRW.
According to a New York Times investigation, dozens of potential child sex offenders have been found exploiting the child influencer industry. They disguise themselves as social media experts and exchange compensation in a sophisticated manner.
What Will Change?
Under the law, social media platforms are required to terminate any accounts suspected of being operated by individuals under the age of 14. However, enforcement has been delayed until February when a court will rule on a lawsuit related to the social media aspects of the law.
Meanwhile, the age verification portion of the law has already gone into effect. Florida residents must upload identification information to access adult websites.
