US Supreme Court lets Texas enforce app store age verification law for now

Download a copy of the Act here. The US Supreme Court has allowed Texas to continue enforcing its App Store Accountability Act, which mandates age verification at the app store level, at least for now, refusing to reinstate lower court orders that had blocked the law while constitutional challenges proceed. The emergency order means Apple and Google must continue verifying users’ ages and obtain parental consent before minors can download apps or make in-app purchases in the state.
