Florida can enforce social media ban for kids under 14 after court win

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 that Florida's law banning social media accounts for children under 14 likely survives First Amendment scrutiny. The injunction was lifted and the case returns to federal court in Tallahassee.

• Law bans social media for under-14s and requires parental consent for 14-15 year olds
• Court: law is "content-neutral" and doesn't burden more speech than needed
• CCIA and NetChoice sued; a 2025 injunction had blocked enforcement
• NetChoice said it is disappointed and is evaluating its options
