Texas’ App Store Accountability Act, which mandates that minors obtain parental permission before downloading most apps, can go into effect, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on July 6, 2026. This decision allows the law to be enforced as ongoing lawsuits challenging the measure continue in lower courts.
The law aims to regulate minors’ access to digital content through app stores by involving parental consent. The Supreme Court’s ruling does not resolve the broader legal disputes but permits the state to implement the restrictions during the litigation process.
This development marks a significant moment in the regulation of digital content access for minors in Texas.
