得克萨斯州接近法律, 要求苹果、谷歌在应用下载、购买之前验证用户年龄。 Texas nears law requiring Apple, Google to verify users' ages before app downloads, purchases.

得克萨斯州即将通过一项法律, 要求苹果公司和谷歌公司验证其应用程序商店用户的年龄。 Texas is close to passing a law that would require Apple and Google to verify the age of users on their app stores. 参议院第2420号法案(等待州长Greg Abbott签字)规定,应用程序操作员须确认用户年龄,并征得18岁以下者父母的同意,然后才能允许应用程序下载或应用程序内购买。 Senate Bill 2420, awaiting Governor Greg Abbott's signature, mandates that app store operators confirm users' ages and obtain parental consent for those under 18 before allowing app downloads or in-app purchases. 该法案是依照犹他州今年早些时候的类似立法,以压倒多数通过两院的。 The bill, which passed both legislative chambers with a supermajority, follows Utah's similar legislation earlier this year. Tech巨人反对该法案,认为该法案对年龄数据共享规定了严格的要求,而倡导团体则支持该法案,让父母对其子女的技术使用有更大的控制权。 Tech giants oppose the bill, arguing it imposes strict requirements for age data sharing, while advocacy groups support it to give parents more control over their children's technology use.
