Statement on Utah Legislature Passing the App Store Accountability Act 

The Utah House and Senate recently voted to pass the App Store Accountability Act.   

Statement from the Digital Childhood Alliance: 

“The Utah Legislature has taken clear and decisive action to protect children online by passing the App Store Accountability Act. This bill ensures that children cannot enter contracts they are too young to legally agree to, strengthens parental oversight of app downloads, and holds app stores accountable for misleading age ratings and inadequate safeguards.

While Utah is leading the way, several other states are already considering the App Store Accountability Act this legislative session. The momentum behind this issue is growing, and today’s victory is a testament to the urgent need for accountability from the platforms that shape the digital lives of children.
 
The Digital Childhood Alliance, a coalition of more than 60 advocacy organizations, will continue demanding app store accountability in state houses across the country and in Congress.”
