The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) sides with Texas on app store age verification, denies emergency block

2026-07-08  Ian Fleming

The Supreme Court also sided with Texas on the Constitutional validity of age assurance requirements for access to online pornography in a precedent-setting case last year. Now the state will be able to enforce SB2420 while it seeks the same result for age restrictions at the app store level. Debate continues around the appropriate place in the stack for age assurance to take place, and Texas’ law may provide helpful data on the relative effectiveness of app store age checks, depending on how long it survives.
