In Texas, lawmakers have approved the law, which requires Apple and Google to verify the age of users and to demand parental agreement to download or purchase attachments or purchases. The law is now waiting for the signature of Governor Greg Aber.
Apple and Google are against the law, claiming that it will require all applications to collect personal data from users, even if they are harmless. Instead, both companies have only offered to share the necessary applications with age data.
This initiative joins global concerns about the digital security of children and adolescents. Meta and a number of countries are discussing new events to protect children from social networks and appendices.
