Texas App Store Age Verification Law Blocked by Federal Judge

A Texas federal judge today blocked an App Store age verification law that was set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which means Apple may not have to support the changes after all. The Texas App Store Accountability Act (SB2420) requires Apple and other app marketplaces to confirm user age when a person creates an Apple Account. Apple Accounts for users under 18 would need to join a Family Sharing group, with new controls available for parents and restrictions for minors.

#Trump#DOJ seeks ONE-DAY sentence for officer in raid that killed #BreonnaTaylor
In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison #guilty of violating Taylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 #police raid in which she was fatally shot.

The #Trump#DOJ requested that a #Louisville police officer #convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in #BreonnaTaylor’s death serve just one day in prison. In an unusual sentencing memo, the #FederalGovernment suggested to a #judge that the #Biden admin should not have prosecuted the officer on #CivilRights charges.

US District #Judge #JohnMcConnell’s family endured similar #threats after he ruled that #Trump overstepped his authority in freezing #grants for #education & other services. #FarRight provocateur #LauraLoomer [& apparent Trump advisor] tweeted a photo of the judge’s daughter, who had worked at the US Education Dept as a policy advisor, & accused McConnell of protecting her paycheck. #ElonMusk amplified the post to his 219 million followers.

Neither #LauraLoomer nor #Musk mentioned the #Judge’s daughter had left her job before #Trump’s inauguration.

Loomer continued her attacks with 9 more posts in the ensuing days – & >600 calls & emails flooded #JohnMcConnell’s RI courthouse, including #DeathThreats & menacing messages taunting his #family, acc/to a court clerk & another person familiar w/the communications.

When US District #Judge James #Boasberg ruled in April that #Trump admin officials could face #criminal #contempt charges for #deporting migrants in defiance of a #CourtOrder, the blowback was immediate.

Trump’s supporters unleashed a wave of #threats & menacing posts. And they didn’t just target the judge. Some attacked Boasberg’s brother. Others blasted his daughter. Some demanded the #family’s arrest – or #execution.
