Supreme Court Refuses to Block Texas Law Restricting App Purchases

The Supreme Court declined to pause enforcement of a Texas law that restricts which apps children can download from online stores, in a case that involves the balance of online safety for kids and the Constitution’s free-speech guarantees. The law requires users to verify that they’re at least 18 years old; if they are not, minors must receive consent from their parents for every download or in-app purchase.
