Big win for Texas families tonight. 🚨
The Fifth Circuit has stayed the injunction against Texas’s App Store Accountability Act — legislation I proudly authored as SB 2420.
That means app stores must once again verify ages and obtain parental consent before minors can download apps.
Parents deserve meaningful tools to protect their children online, and Texas is continuing to lead the way in standing up to Big Tech and putting kids first. 👏🇨🇱

A major win for kids digital safety, today! 📱🚨
The Fifth Circuit has issued a temporary stay of the district court’s injunction blocking enforcement of the App Store Accountability Act - SB 2420!
BIG WIN. 5th Circuit lifted the injunction blocking Texas's App Store Accountability Act bringing .@FairlyForTexas & .@AngelaPaxtonTX’s SB 2420 one step closer to protecting Texas kids.
Parents are winning. The Constitution is on our side.
Now, .@SenTedCruz: pass the federal ASAA! https://t.co/7TzZFGTJwo
NCOSE, joined by than 100 child protection organizations are calling on Congress to oppose the so-called “Parents Over Platforms Act,” warning it would undermine state online safety laws and protect Big Tech from accountability. Families need stronger protections for kids online, not legislation that weakens them. Read more below.👇

“The deceptively named Parents over Platforms Act (POPA) should be aptly named Platforms over Parents Act" said @RepJames.
POPA relies on self-reported age which “has repeatedly failed to keep our children safe.”
88% of parents instead support the App Store Accountability Act!

Thank you @RepGusBilirakis for cosponsoring the App Store Accountability Act to put parents back in charge!
The App Store Accountability Act "creates a simple, private and secure process to verify users’ ages and require kids to first obtain a parent’s permission." @RepGuthrie
I agree with Chairman Guthrie: Congress can’t sit back while Big Tech fails to protect our kids online. Our effort to strengthen safeguards, increase accountability, and make digital spaces safer for families is long overdue - and it’s work we must finish. https://t.co/tMdeo2ehdT

The App Store Accountability Act "leverages modern technology to put apps on notice that they are dealing with children and teens and, thus, have heightened safety obligations."
Thank you @RepGuthrie@HouseCommerce for advancing bills to empower parents! https://t.co/H9gznVtW2P
My App Store Accountability Act is simple: It protects privacy, it protects the rights of parents, and it protects the innocence of children by holding Big Tech accountable.
“…parents, not the state and not corporations, hold the sacred duty to shape their children’s moral and spiritual upbringing.”
This is exactly why @HouseCommerce advanced the App Store Accountability Act to the House Floor. It puts parents in control of the apps their children can download.

“The App Store Accountability Act also closes a glaring loophole.”
For too long, Big Tech has failed to protect minors in their app stores, exposing them adult and obscene content, and we’re holding them accountable.

My App Store Accountability Act passed Committee! ✅
Thrilled that my bill to empower parents & protect kids online moves one step closer to President Trump's desk.
Next step: the House Floor!
Huge win!
The SCREEN Act and the App Store Accountability Act have advanced through the House Energy & Commerce Committee.
One step closer to a federal age verification standard to protect kids online.
Call the vote, @SpeakerJohnson!
The App Store Accountability Act will ensure parents don’t have to co-parent with the government! This bill protects kids and empowers parents and is common sense.
Great to see @HouseCommerce & @RepGusBilirakis champion parental rights in Congress.

Preventing app stores from knowingly selling adult or addictive content to minors isn’t just common sense, it’s consistent with what we expect from brick-and-mortar stores.
The App Store Accountability Act, led by @RepJames, helps ensure that app stores are not selling inappropriate content to minors, while protecting data privacy and security.
