The Texas Legislature has already passed a bill requiring age verification to download apps and is seriously considering another to ban children from social media.

    Given the lack of regulation from anywhere else, I agree with my state here. This is a good thing (even if its made for the wrong reasons).

    And phones are so freaking locked down, and apps so centralized, that (on aggregate), it’ll be pretty enforcable. If it pushes a small fraction of kids to sideloading, smaller/web platforms, VPNs or even hacking, good.
