Apple and Google reportedly pitched age-check bills that would bar private lawsuits under the rules

POLITICO reports that Apple and Google lobbyists pitched alternative age-check bills in Arizona, Georgia and Kansas that would bar individuals from suing under the rules and leave enforcement to state attorneys general. The proposals competed with bills requiring app stores to verify users’ ages and obtain parental consent before minors download apps or make purchases. The three states’ legislative sessions ended without a governor signing an age-verification bill.
