Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce law requiring age verification and parental consent on apps
The Supreme Court allowed Texas to enforce a law requiring app stores to verify users' ages and obtain parental consent for minors to download apps or make purchases. The law, SB 2420, faces challenges from a student group and the Computer and Communications Industry Association, who argue it violates the First Amendment. The Court declined to reinstate a lower court's block on the law.
