Eleventh Circuit lets Florida enforce social media limits for children under 14
A three-judge Eleventh Circuit panel on October 14, 2026 reversed and vacated a preliminary injunction against Florida's HB 3, holding the law likely constitutional as applied to members of the Computer & Communications Industry Association. The panel said HB 3 is likely content-neutral and survives intermediate scrutiny. HB 3 bars children under 14 from opening accounts on platforms with certain addictive features and requires parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds.
