Florida's legislators have passed a bill to ban social media for children under 16.
It will affect any site that tracks user activity, allows for online interaction, and uses features designed to cause excessive use.
Both Democrats and Republicans support it, arguing social media can cause mental health issues and addiction in children.
US correspondent Richard Arnold told Tim Dower that Florida isn't alone, Utah has also banned children under 18 using it without parental consent.
He says an industry group is suing Utah over their bill, and New York mayor Eric Adams called social media an "environmental toxin".
