"App Store Accountability Act isnāt creating new rules, itās reinforcing the Supreme Courtās decision." App store age checks are "ordinary & appropriate" safeguards that protects kids & preserves privacy. @GovRonDesantis @JamesUthmeierFL @Daniel_PerezFL

WE CAN DO BETTER FOR OUR KIDS! @CAgovernor Why did you sign this? Oh yeah, all your advisors are Big Tech. Could we care about kids for just 5 minutes? We need App Store Accountability! @NMDEMS @Rep_Stansbury
30% of minors lie about their age online. But California's new "age assurance" law takes kids at their word, treating self-declared ages as legally binding. Real accountability requires REAL age verification & parental consent. #AppStoreAccountabilityAct

App stores are the digital gatekeepers of children's online lives, but those stores ignore risks by treating kids as adults.
