Florida lawmakers vote to restrict children's access to social media:

"The Florida House of Representatives approved on Wednesday a bill aimed at barring children aged 16 and younger from social media platforms, following similar action in several states to limit online risks to young teenagers.
Passed by a bipartisan vote of 106 to 13, the measure would require social media platforms to terminate the accounts of anyone under 17 years old and use a third-party verification system to screen out the underaged."


Thinking of the children!
Everyone, including adults, using social media in Florida will need to expose their true identity to prove they are old enough (or prove they don't live in Florida)  to use social media.

And with the real names matched to screen names you can expect the FBI to come knocking.

You don't think the FBI can't already figure out who is behind your screen name?

There are ways to hide from them with varying levels of trouble they have to go through to find you, depending on how big a fish you are.  With a dedicated device, a no logs VPN based in a foreign country, and some common sense in the way of not leaving clues about your identity, small fry like us maybe can stay anonymous.  But you’re right, most people won’t go to that trouble and aren’t trying to hide criminal activity.  We just don’t want our business known out of general principles.
