Alabama thinks of saying goodbye to laws that require the consent of the parents to download apps

As most of them know, Alabama consider the adoption of laws in which app stores have to receive the consent of the parents before teenagers can download apps to their devices last week (Al Bill adopted SB187/HB317). We have now seen a broad dynamic for this legislation across the country, with more than 25 percent of the states, including Alabama (13 states today), considering this regulatory solution for online security for teenagers.

We wanted to characterize them that Utah was the first state in the country to pass a draft law (UT SB 142) who required this approach and now on the way to the governor's desk.

Since Alabama Utah's legislation is based on and the next state that has passed a bill like this, I would like to share the joint explanation of Meta, Snap and X about the passage of the UTAH App Store Accountability Act, which we have just published if you are interested in a follow -up coverage:

“Parents want a one-stop shop to verify their child's age and give them permission to load apps to data protection in a way. The App Store is the best place for this, and more than a quarter of the states have introduced invoices in which the central roles apps are awarded. We welcome Utah to have the parents responsible in his pioneering laws and demand the congress to follow the example. “
