Utah’s legislature has passed a new bill that would require app stores to verify the age and identity of all users, including adults. The bill now awaits signature by Governor Spencer Cox, who signed a similar bill last year that was blocked by a federal judge over First Amendment concerns.

Utah has become the first state to pass legislation requiring app stores to verify users’ ages and get parental consent for minors to download apps to their devices

The App Store Accountability Act is headed to the governor’s desk, but a legal battle over the controversial bill seems all but certain.

The bill has pitted Meta against app store giants Apple and Google over who should be responsible for verifying ages.

The law is a notable win for Meta, which has thrown its weight behind the argument that app stores are the best point at which to impose age checks.
