According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, is said to have contacted Texas Governor Greg Abbott to request changes to or veto a recently enacted law that would compel the company to verify the ages of device owners as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Although Governor Abbott has not yet signed the bill into law, Apple, along with Google, has been collaborating with interest groups to oppose the legislation, citing concerns that the proposed law could compromise user privacy.

The proposed legislation would require linking a minor’s App Store account to that of their parents, enabling parents to receive notifications and grant or deny approval for their child’s app downloads.

As stated by an Apple spokesperson to the WSJ, “If this bill becomes law, app marketplaces will be forced to collect and store sensitive personal information from all Texans who wish to download apps, even those that provide basic services like weather updates or sports scores.”

Proponents of the bill argue that it would provide parents with greater control over their children’s smartphone usage and help them make informed decisions about the apps their kids use.

At least nine other states are currently exploring similar legislation, and Apple successfully blocked a comparable bill in Louisiana last year, although the state is now reconsidering the proposal.
