Supreme Court allows Texas app law requiring age verification to take effect
The Supreme Court declined to block the Texas App Store Accountability Act, allowing the law requiring age verification in app stores to take effect while litigation continues. A student advocacy organization and tech trade group had sought an emergency stay of the law pending lower court proceedings.
Why it matters: App developers, app stores, and platforms operating in Texas must implement age verification mechanisms or face legal exposure under this new state law, and the Supreme Court's decision indicates a higher bar for emergency relief against state digital regulation.
