Forced Parental Consent
Minors under 16 but above 13 need permission to open a social media account. The state decides who deserves a voice.
Florida House Bill 3
HB 3 censors teen voices online. We fight back.
About
Florida Teen Free Speech is a youth-led movement opposing House Bill 3 Section 501.1735 — a law that strips teenagers of free expression online.
Parental consent mandates, and forced age verification — this bill controls what we see and say.
The Bill
Minors under 16 but above 13 need permission to open a social media account. The state decides who deserves a voice.
Anyone under 14 can't have a social media account at all, even with parental consent. The state is trying to play parent.
Personalized content is disabled for minors. Teens are locked into generic feeds with nothing relevant to them.
To access everyday sites, those who are 16 or older must submit identity data to third-party services. Privacy is the price of free speech.
