Justices urged to stop Texas from enforcing age-verification and parental-consent law on apps

A student group and the Computer and Communications Industry Association petitioned the Supreme Court to block Texas from enforcing SB 2420, a law requiring age verification and parental consent for minors' access to apps and paid content. They argue the law violates the First Amendment and imposes burdens on app developers. The 5th Circuit previously placed a hold on a federal judge's order blocking the law, prompting the emergency Supreme Court request.
