Utah has become the first state in the U.S. to implement the App Store Accountability Act, mandating that new app store accounts can only be created by users aged 18 and over. Minors must associate their accounts with a parent or guardian for app downloads. This legislation aims to protect children from inappropriate content online, gaining support from tech giants like Meta and Snap. However, Google has opposed the bill, citing privacy concerns regarding age verification data. Legal challenges are anticipated before the law takes effect on May 7, 2025.
