Meta, Google push two different Ohio age verification policies

2025-10-15  Ian Fleming

Ohio lawmakers have before them different versions of legislation requiring app stores to establish age verification measures. Under HB 226 and SB 167, if an app is “likely to be accessed by children,” app stores would have to obtain parental permission prior to letting Ohioans 16 years or younger download the app. Stores would carry the burden of verifying user ages through a user’s device.
