We were hearing some rumours about a privacy bill. According to this bill users below the adult age were not allowed to download apps and do other functions without the knowledge of their parents. In other words it is the responsibility of big tech giants such as Google and Apple to verify the age of users.
Apparently, the law wants the App Store and play store to verify the ages of its users. Which means minors cannot download certain apps without the permission of their parents. While this law seems attractive to lots of parents. Apple does not like it. We all know that AppleCare is a lot for its privacy. That’s why allowing this law to pass and legislate will mean that Apple will have to give access to sensitive information of their customers and consumers.
This means that third parties like developers and app controllers will gain information about the consumer data. Which will compromise the position of Apple in the future. Apple thinks that passing this law is not the right approach to protect minors. The federal kids should be protected from online activities in a very different manner.
Tamil is not signed by the governor of Texas yet. That’s why Apple is pairing up with interest groups and trying to stop this bill from passing. because according to Apple this bill if passed will become dangerous and threatening for the privacy of its users.
So whenever a minor is trying to install the app, his parents will get notification through which they can approve or disapprove the installation of such an app. Even if the app is of weather or informative technology. Parents are to be notified at all costs.
Not everyone is opposing this bill. Some people have a fever too. Because it is really important for parents to have an idea of their kids’ activities. That’s why if this law gets available, payments are going to get control of the digital devices of their kids. In other words, parents will get complete authority over the digital life of their kids.
Apart from Texas other line states are also acquiring this legislation. Although last year in Louisiana Apple tried to stop the bill and it was successful but right now revisiting the bill is going to happen soon.
The CEO team is trying really hard to alternate the events. But it seems like the government has made up their mind. Because there are lots of cases of miss use of digital devices as well as AI. All this misuse is happening by the minors. This law is going to help parents to have a slight idea of their kids’ activities.
