Texa app age verification law allowed to go into effect for now
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal appeals court has allowed Texas' age verification law for app marketplaces to take effect, temporarily blocking a lower court's injunction. The law mandates that operators like Apple and Google verify users' ages and obtain parental consent for minors to download apps or make purchases. Supporters argue it protects children online, while critics claim it infringes on free speech rights. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton supports the law, emphasizing the state's duty to safeguard children in the digital space. The law's future remains uncertain, as ongoing legal challenges may still alter its enforcement.
