Last week, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted on X that he has introduced the App Store Accountability Act, a proposal that would empower parents and enact a strong safeguard to hold Big Tech accountable. The legislation would require app stores such as Apple’s App Store and Google Play to verify the ages of users who are purchasing apps on their platforms. This commonsense legislation would go a long way to empower parents to safeguard their children’s internet experience while also sidestepping the legal challenges that have hindered other efforts to protect children online.
The digital world is rapidly evolving, and while it opens up new opportunities, it also exposes children to risks that were unimaginable just a decade ago. Platforms such as TikTok, while designed for fun and social interaction, can inadvertently become gateways to harmful content for young users. This problem has prompted experts and lawmakers to advocate stricter controls, such as age verification, to protect children better online.
