App store age assurance laws are rapidly evolving, and they’re not disappearing any time soon. In this episode, we unpack why states like Utah, Texas, and now California are pushing forward with age assurance frameworks that require operating systems and developers to collect and act on age information — and why these laws continue gaining traction despite legal challenges.

Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by [Laura Riposo VanDruff](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/laura-riposo-vandruff), [Paul L. Singer](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/paul-l-singer), and [Alexander I. Schneider](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/alexander-i-schneider).
