US Edition100+ Child Advocates Praise Introduction of App Store Accountability Act as National Momentum Grows
- U.S. Senator Mike Lee and Representative John James introduced the bipartisan App Store Accountability Act on May 3, 2025, to strengthen parental oversight nationwide.

- Over 100 child advocacy organizations applauded the bill’s introduction with a letter urging swift passage, while a national poll found strong bipartisan support for required parental approval and independent age ratings.
- A recent poll revealed that 88% of parents support requiring approval before minors download apps, and 85% believe parental permission should be necessary when children under 18 accept an app’s terms of service, highlighting important provisions of the Act.
- With growing momentum including Utah passing similar laws and other states considering action, advocates emphasize that the Act offers a commonsense bipartisan chance to protect children from online exploitation.
