Florida passed a social media ban for kids under 14, reflecting both a state and national concern about minors' exposure to topics on social media. But, no matter how well-intentioned the bill may be, how far do we allow states to encroach on digital privacy and first amendment rights? We have an opinion piece from our in-house librarian/tech writer on the matter, with her proposed alternative solutions. 🗣️🔏📵 And, Apple is reportedly exploring adding cameras and sensors to AirPods, but that could be hard to justify. We explore a few privacy concerns we have for this potential innovation. 🎧📸 Be sure to check back tomorrow for fresh, hot takes from our back pocket to yours for more device, entertainment, lifestyle, and audio tech coverage. 😉 [Florida's social media ban raises flags about kids' data privacy and digital literacy](%2F%2Fwww.pocket-lint.com%2Fflorida-social-media-ban-data-privacy-digital-literacy%2F%3Futm_medium=newsletter%26utm_campaign=PL-202403281645%26utm_source=PL-NL%26user=dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODZAZ21haWwuY29t/1/0100018e86d205b2-4fa12396-6d5c-4513-b4af-698bb966255b-000000/zQTYu5SjtIRIWK94bdk6O7MYn7g=367) Opinion: It's hard to support a bill that opposes the First Amendment and exposes users to less privacy -- no matter how well-intentioned.

Over the past couple of years, there's been a rise in social media and online safety legislation aimed at children.
