Florida’s Social Media Ban Challenged: The Free Speech, Data Privacy, and Mental Health Implications of Age-Verification Laws - Ep 69

In this episode of Litigation Nation, co-hosts Danessa Watkins and Jack Sanker dive into two significant legal topics currently shaping the landscape of litigation in the U.S.

 

Jack discusses the Trump administration's reversal of affirmative action programs, diving into the history of affirmative action and DEI programs in the U.S and breaking down the legal implications of their prohibition for the public and private sectors. 

 

Next, Danessa revisits Florida's ban on social media for children under 14 years of age (previously discussed in Episode 46).  Social media industry groups have challenged the law, claiming it is in violation of the First Amendment. Danessa explores this lawsuit and the national conversation surrounding the legal, psychological, and data-privacy implications of social media age-verification laws.
