- Texas urges Fifth Circuit to revive law restricting kids’ app downloads
Texas is seeking to revive Senate Bill 2420, which requires parental consent for minors to download apps or make in-app purchases, arguing it protects children's data and privacy. Opponents, including tech groups and students, claim the law violates the First Amendment by restricting access to educational, news, and religious content. A federal judge blocked the law, citing potential unconstitutional restrictions on speech.
