A new national poll released by ALLvanza shows 82% of voters and 85% of parents – across partisan lines – support legislation in line with the App Store Accountability Act that would require age verification and parental approval through app stores before minors can download apps.
The findings come as Congress considers a wide array of legislative solutions, including the App Store Accountability Act
Individual provisions of this proposal likewise receive strong support:
- 83% of voters, including 85% of parents support, requiring parental approval before minors can download apps.
- Nearly two-thirds of voters (65%), including 66% of parents say that collecting users’ self-reported age is not an effective way to protect children online and that stronger age-verification measures, such as those outlined in the App Store Accountability Act, are needed.
