(Kissimmee, FL) -- Florida Governor DeSantis says he wants to work with the state legislature on the youth social media ban that recently passed the Florida House. The ban would keep anyone under 16 years old from creating and using a social media account.

 At an appearance yesterday in central Florida, DeSantis said he's worried about the legal challenges the bill would face once enacted.  

The bill passed the house 106 to 13 and is being done out of concern for youth mental health.
