I am proud to introduce S.5364, the App Store Accountability Act, to keep kids safe from exploitation online. Too many companies profit from adult content reaching children, and it’s going to stop. First, this bill creates a private right of action for parents and guardians against app stores that expose their children to pornographic content and extreme violence. That means these companies can be sued. App stores can protect themselves from liability by enforcing age verification and parental controls. We have the technology to ensure age-verification without ending anonymity online or endangering First Amendment rights, and we should use it. Younger and younger children are seeing sexual and violent content online through a variety of apps. If we want to stop this vicious trend, we can’t rely on big corporations to be “moral.” We need them to know they’ll go bankrupt if they victimize kids. The App Store Accountability Act tells them.
