The United States Supreme Court has declined to block Texas from enforcing a new law requiring app stores to verify users' ages and obtain parental consent before minors can download apps or make in-app purchases.
The decision allows the Texas App Store Accountability Act to take effect while legal challenges against the law continue in court.
In two brief orders issued on Monday, Justice Samuel Alito rejected emergency requests from groups challenging the law, including the Computer & Communications Industry Association and Students Engaged in Advancing Texas.
The plaintiffs argue that the law violates constitutional free speech rights by restricting access to online content, including educational resources and news. They also contend that parents—not the government—should decide how children access digital platforms.
Last month, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law could be enforced, overturning a lower court's decision that had declared it unconstitutional.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defended the legislation, arguing that it is designed to protect children from harmful online content and ensure greater parental oversight of minors' digital activities.
The Supreme Court's decision does not resolve the legal dispute but allows the law to remain in effect while the case proceeds through the courts.
