Supreme Court leaves Texas app store age-verification law in effect
Responsible attorney: Lou Schwartz, Schwartz & Associates, PC, Atlanta, Georgia. intake@snalawyers.com
The Supreme Court declined emergency requests to lift a Fifth Circuit order allowing Texas's App Store Accountability Act to take effect while its constitutionality is litigated. The law requires app stores to verify users' ages, obtain parental consent for minors, and share age and consent status with app developers. The order does not decide whether the law is constitutional.
Why it matters. Texas's age-verification and parental-consent requirements for app downloads can be enforced while the challenge continues.
