The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily allowed Texas to enforce a new law that limits children’s ability to download apps without parental approval, even as legal challenges to the measure continue in lower courts.
Under Texas’ App Store Accountability Act, minors must obtain permission from a parent or guardian before they can download the majority of apps onto their mobile devices.
The high court’s decision means the law can be put into practice while lawsuits challenging it are still being heard and decided at the lower court level.
