Hi everyone,

As we head into 2026, I want to share an important update. I’ll be stepping back from active advocacy for a while—but the fight to delay the App Store Accountability Act until **March 13, 2027** is far from over.

Why now? Because a **lawsuit has been filed against the Texas version of the bill**, and that legal challenge weakens the federal version. It proves what we’ve been saying all along: this legislation is flawed, rushed, and risks violating youth rights and privacy.

Here is the resources to the lawsuit

CCIA Sues Texas to Block Unconstitutional App Store Law

CCIA v. Paxton WD Tex. SB2420 Complaint

This pause isn’t surrender—it’s strategy. The bill is stalled, and the pressure we’ve built is working. I’m asking Congress to **honor the delay until March 13 2027**—not just for me, but for every teen whose voice was left out of this debate.

I may be less active in 2026 to Q1 of 2027, but I’m counting on you to keep sharing, speaking out, holding lawmakers accountable and making my message on mainstream news. Every signature, every share, every comment matters.

Let’s make sure they hear us—loud and clear—until **March 13, 2027**.

And because of this I am shutting down this petition and the others

Thank you for standing with me.

Dear Supporters,

Today, Apple officially announced it will comply with Texas’s App Store Accountability Act (SB2420) starting **January 1, 2026** — a law that directly conflicts with federal privacy protections under **COPPA**.

This law forces all users under **18** in Texas to verify their age, join Family Sharing, and obtain parental consent for every app download or purchase — even for basic apps like weather or sports scores. COPPA sets the age threshold at **13**, and SB2420’s overreach threatens privacy, expands surveillance, and burdens families and developers alike.

Apple has expressed concern about the law’s impact on user privacy, but instead of challenging it, they’re preparing to enforce it. That’s why our petition to **delay ASAA until March 13, 2027** is more urgent than ever.

We need to:

- **Flood the FTC and DOJ with complaints** urging federal intervention.

- **Contact privacy advocacy groups** like EFF and CDT to push for litigation.

- **Share this petition far and wide** to build momentum before the law takes effect.

📣 **Take Action Now**:

- File a complaint with the FTC: [www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov](https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov)

- Email COPPA concerns: **CoppaHotLine@ftc.gov**

- Contact EFF: **info@eff.org**

- Contact CDT: **info@cdt.org**

- Email DOJ: **AskDOJ@usdoj.gov**

Together, we can protect digital rights and stop this law from undermining federal privacy standards. Thank you for standing with us.

With urgency,

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for signing the petition to delay the App Store Accountability Act (S.1586/H.R.3149) until March 13, 2027. Your support means everything—and now we need to take the next step together.

📢 **We’ve passed 16 signers—and growing!** Every signature is a voice for teen digital rights, privacy, and fairness. But we need more than signatures. We need action.

🛑 **In September, we saw a wave of misleading articles** from parent groups and other supporters pushing lawmakers to pass this bill. These articles ignore the real impact on teens like me—who would lose access to apps we’ve used responsibly for years. If you see any of these articles, please speak up. **Publish a response on mainstream platforms, blogs, or social media** encouraging Congress to delay the ASAA until 2027. Let’s make sure our side of the story is heard.

📬 **Here’s how you can help right now:**

- **Share the petition** with friends, family, and classmates. Every signature counts.

- **Email your lawmakers** and ask them to delay the bill.

- **Post on social media** using #DelayASAA #DigitalFreedom #YouthOnlineRights.

- **Write or publish articles** that explain why this bill hurts teens and why delaying it is the right move.

🧠 This isn’t just about apps—it’s about access to mental health tools, education platforms, and creative spaces. It’s about being trusted to make decisions and having our rights respected.

Let’s keep pushing. Let’s make sure Congress hears us loud and clear: **Delay the App Store Accountability Act until March 13, 2027.**
