Texas Joins Utah in Mandating App Stores Verify Age
May 27, 2025, 2:46 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social
The Texas Governor has signed a new law that requires app stores to verify users' ages and obtain parental approval for a minor to download software or make in-app purchases. Utah enacted a similar law in March. Apple and Google have vocally opposed both laws, insisting that checking IDs for everyone using any app store would be a violation of users' privacy. Apple and/or Google may still challenge the laws in court.
