Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce app age-verification and parental-consent law
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas to keep in place a law requiring app stores to verify ages and get parental permission for minors, while related legal challenges continue.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed Texas to enforce a law requiring mobile app stores to verify users’ ages and obtain parental permission before minors can download apps or make in-app purchases. The ruling does not end the legal battle over the measure, but it allows the law to remain in effect while challenges continue through the courts.
