Arizona's House Bill 2920 proposes the most expansive app store age verification law in the US, requiring ID checks and parental consent not just for app downloads but for every piece of software on a mobile device — including preinstalled apps like browsers, calculators, and weather widgets. The bill categorizes users into four age groups and mandates that minors' accounts be linked to a parent account, with renewed parental consent required whenever a developer makes a 'significant change' such as adding an ad or updating a privacy policy. App stores like Apple and Google would be responsible for building and enforcing this system, collecting detailed records on age, parental relationships, and consent histories. Violations carry civil penalties up to $75,000. Critics argue the bill creates a massive surveillance infrastructure, chills developer activity, and raises serious First Amendment concerns around anonymous access to information — similar to a Texas law that was blocked by a federal judge for likely being unconstitutional.
