Supreme Court allows Texas app store age-verification law

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed Texas to enforce a law requiring app stores to verify user ages and obtain parental consent before minors download apps or make in-app purchases. The law, known as the Texas App Store Accountability Act or SB 2420, applies primarily to Apple and Google and requires "commercially reasonable" age-verification methods, though it does not specify which ones. The justices declined to reinstate federal injunctions that had blocked the law's implementation.
