A Texas federal judge today blocked an App Store age verification law that was set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which means Apple may not have to support the changes after all. The Texas App Store Accountability Act (SB2420) requires Apple and other app marketplaces to confirm user age when a person creates an Apple Account. Apple Accounts for users under 18 would need to join a Family Sharing group, with new controls available for parents and restrictions for minors.
Not every online interaction. Access to the iOS App Store is like access to a drug emporium or a brothel, so anyone under 21 should be denied entry. Alternatively just make smart phones illegal for anyone under 21. Also works. Parents who give their kids smart phones go to prison.
That should reverse the current IQ decline. Video games should be illegal under the age of 21. You get educational websites and libraries.
If you can think of another way to prevent the inexorable extinction of human civilization currently on the horizon let me know.
