Dear Supporters,

Today, Apple officially announced it will comply with Texas’s App Store Accountability Act (SB2420) starting **January 1, 2026** — a law that directly conflicts with federal privacy protections under **COPPA**.

This law forces all users under **18** in Texas to verify their age, join Family Sharing, and obtain parental consent for every app download or purchase — even for basic apps like weather or sports scores. COPPA sets the age threshold at **13**, and SB2420’s overreach threatens privacy, expands surveillance, and burdens families and developers alike.

Apple has expressed concern about the law’s impact on user privacy, but instead of challenging it, they’re preparing to enforce it. That’s why our petition to **delay ASAA until March 13, 2027** is more urgent than ever.

We need to:

- **Flood the FTC and DOJ with complaints** urging federal intervention.

- **Contact privacy advocacy groups** like EFF and CDT to push for litigation.

- **Share this petition far and wide** to build momentum before the law takes effect.

📣 **Take Action Now**:

- File a complaint with the FTC: [www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov](https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov)

- Email COPPA concerns: **CoppaHotLine@ftc.gov**

- Contact EFF: **info@eff.org**

- Contact CDT: **info@cdt.org**

- Email DOJ: **AskDOJ@usdoj.gov**

Together, we can protect digital rights and stop this law from undermining federal privacy standards. Thank you for standing with us.

With urgency,
