Florida will have one of the country's most restrictive social media bans for minors — if it withstands expected legal challenges.

MIAMI - With the state preparing for a legal challenge from the tech industry, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a high-profile bill aimed at keeping children off social media platforms.'You better believe, I am going to fight like hell to uphold this in court,' Attorney General Ashley Moody said during a bill-signing event in Jacksonville.

But it includes a definition of such platforms, with criteria related to such things as algorithms, 'addictive features' and allowing users to view the content or activities of other users.DeSantis, also an attorney, vetoed an earlier version of the bill after raising concerns about constitutional issues and infringement on parental rights. But he negotiated with Renner on the plan that was signed Monday.
