Florida Introduces 10 New Laws for 2025
"The social media restrictions are likely in violation of the First Amendment" S2 #168
Could be, particularly if inflicted on adults.
But there are countless examples of "children", those that have not yet reached the age of legal emancipation, being treated as second-class citizens.
They're not allowed to vote, to drink, to buy tobacco, to get a driver's license, etc.
The simple thing for sear to do @CV is to reflexively insult the free speech infringement, and feel good about feeling bad. BUT:
Stats I've read of children's smart-phone usage habits align with preexisting definitions of addiction. And when extended cellphone access is suddenly suspended, symptoms akin to drug withdrawal have been known to occur.
Further, there are indications social media operators deliberately design their formats to hook users, deliberately dominating their attention.
Tossing our children to the wolves in the name of free speech may bear the superficial appearance of a noble cause.
That certainly is NOT an endorsement of whatever statutory jalopy DeSantis' paradise has slapped together.
It's grudging acknowledgement
some action may be appropriate to protect children from $Billionaires like Elon Musk.
"(and definitely run afoul of the GOP insistence that parents should make the decisions)" S2 #168
Bulls Eye !
Not only on target, but right in the center of the small red dot.
Hmmm
Political hypocrisy in the GOP. That's certain to make headlines. right?
"Once warned, individuals must not approach within 25 feet of a first responder performing their duties." #168
Was officer Chauvin "performing" his "duties" when he murdered Floyd?
If that's the restriction then there is no restriction, for if the suspect first responder is committing murder, that's not "performing their duties", and thus the 25 feet exclusion standard does not apply. right? We'll have to review the statutory language to resolve that issue.
Many such cameras used for this purpose may be cellphone cameras, suited to selfies literally at arm's length. A 25 foot exclusion zone would tend to minimize the utility of whatever image was captured. How "convenient" for the government employees colluding with these homicidal public "servants" (executioners).
