Florida’s attorney general is asking a court to make Meta verify the age of every Facebook and Instagram user in the state. Accounts of under-14s that fail to verify within 30 days get marked for deletion.
The motion goes further. It wants teen accounts to be subjected to a state-enforced lock-in to quiet mode from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. year-round, and during school hours on weekdays. It wants like counts hidden, autoplay and infinite scroll switched off, and a cap of 60 hours a month.
Last week it also asked a court to order OpenAI to build age verification for ChatGPT.
You cannot check teenagers without checking everyone. Every adult in Florida would have to hand over ID or a face scan to keep using these platforms and have access to speech.
