There are many online safety proposals in front of @HouseCommerce. The #AppStoreAccountability Act stands out by using a simple parental notification at the app store level and reducing data exposure. @RepDebDingell, please support it at the upcoming hearing.


The App Store Accountability Act aims to boost age verification & app ratings, allowing parents to effectively oversee their kids’ online experiences. Read my latest Op-Ed below👇 #ParentalControl #YouthEmpowerment #AppStoreAccountability #FlaPol #FlPol sun-sentinel.com/2025/11/09/flo…


🚩@Google just added “selfie” age verification. I tested it on my son’s account (stated as a teen boy for years) using my middle-aged woman face. In 5 seconds he was “verified” as an adult. Robust app store age verification is far superior. #AppStoreAccountability

🚩The MPAA just sent a cease-and-desist to @Meta calling their comparison of the @AppStore’s 13+ rating to a PG-13 standard “false and highly misleading.” @AppStore age ratings often DO NOT reflect real in-app experiences, and the MPAA knows it. #AppStoreAccountability

Movies are reviewed individually by human parents—~500 rated per year. Meta cannot possibly apply this standard to billions of social media posts and AI companion chats. It is grossly misleading to suggest otherwise. The harm? Parents putting trust in untrustworthy products.



@Apple just updated its “parental consent” interface so age ratings are more visible. A change we called for in our @FTC complaints. ❌ The age ratings are still wildly inaccurate. @Apple allows horrible content on 13+ apps if it's "infrequent." #AppStoreAccountability

🔥 Whoa. In the past month, @Reddit raised its @AppStore age rating from 16+ to 18+! This comes just as the App Store Accountability Act is about to take effect in Texas, where developers could be held liable for inaccurate age ratings. It’s working!!💪 #AppStoreAccountability

Ads are running in AL and TX with lies about the #AppStoreAccountability act. #BigTech’s #1 tactic: spread confusion. In this case, @Apple is using the App Association to spread lies. Bloomberg exposed this already! bloomberg.com/news/articles/… This is common sense! Kids shouldn’t…

.@RepVance grateful for your leadership in championing #appstoreaccountability, giving parents & youth more tools for safety & protection! Kids shouldn't be signing contracts without parental consent, especially w/ these billion dollar companies! Here to help! @NCOSE


🔥 It’s crazy to see @Apple prepared to comply with Texas’s App Store Accountability Act. Just ten months ago, tech lobbyists tried to convince me and sponsor @gopTODD that the bill’s requirements were “not technically feasible.” #AppStoreAccountability 9to5mac.com/2025/11/04/app…


App stores rate Character AI as 12+. I would never let my kids near it if I knew what was inside. This is why the App Store Accountability Act matters. We need honest age ratings that actually protect our kids. #ProtectKidsOnline #AppStoreAccountability

2/ Jane Doe: “In 2023, Character.AI was marketed in the App Store as fun and safe with an age-rating of 12+. My son downloaded the app, and within months, he went from being a happy, social teenager to somebody I didn’t even recognize.”

@drschwertner . Parents—not app stores—should have the final say on what apps kids download. Will you lead on App Store Accountability in [Your State]? It’s time to protect families and hold Big Tech accountable. #AppStoreAccountability


🚨 Even Meta recognizes that @Apple and @Google's app age ratings are meaningless, so now they are using the MPAA standards! This comes following an expose of Instagram Teen Accounts by @fairplayforkids, @maurinemolak, @heatinitiative, @_andyburrows #AppStoreAccountability

Teen Accounts will be guided by PG-13 movie ratings, meaning teens will see content on Instagram that’s similar to what they’d see in a PG-13 movie, by default. about.fb.com/news/2025/10/i…

@Google is no better. These aren't actual warnings by which parents can make informed choices. App store “consent” is meaningless when it’s based on deception, misrepresentation, and missing disclosures. App store "contracts" are fraudulent by design. #AppStoreAccountability

🚩@Roblox is a dangerous platform where children are routinely exploited and sexually harassed. Yet the @AppStore still rates it safe for ages 12+, with no warnings beyond “cartoon or mild realistic violence.” This = deception and reckless endangerment. #AppStoreAccountability
