- Texas teens call on SCOTUS to block app store age check
Texas students, including M.F. and Z.B., have petitioned the Supreme Court to block Texas' App Store Accountability Act, which mandates age verification for app downloads and parental consent for minors under 18. They argue the law disproportionately restricts access to non-harmful content like educational apps, violating the First Amendment. The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) supports the challenge, comparing the law to overreaching age verification requirements for physical businesses.
