NCOSE, joined by than 100 child protection organizations are calling on Congress to oppose the so-called “Parents Over Platforms Act,” warning it would undermine state online safety laws and protect Big Tech from accountability. Families need stronger protections for kids online, not legislation that weakens them.

“The deceptively named Parents over Platforms Act (POPA) should be aptly named Platforms over Parents Act" said @RepJames. POPA relies on self-reported age which “has repeatedly failed to keep our children safe.” 88% of parents instead support the App Store Accountability Act!

Thank you @RepGusBilirakis for cosponsoring the App Store Accountability Act to put parents back in charge! The App Store Accountability Act "creates a simple, private and secure process to verify users’ ages and require kids to first obtain a parent’s permission." @RepGuthrie

I agree with Chairman Guthrie: Congress can’t sit back while Big Tech fails to protect our kids online. Our effort to strengthen safeguards, increase accountability, and make digital spaces safer for families is long overdue - and it’s work we must finish. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

The App Store Accountability Act "leverages modern technology to put apps on notice that they are dealing with children and teens and, thus, have heightened safety obligations." Thank you @RepGuthrie @HouseCommerce for advancing bills to empower parents! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

My App Store Accountability Act is simple: It protects privacy, it protects the rights of parents, and it protects the innocence of children by holding Big Tech accountable.

“…parents, not the state and not corporations, hold the sacred duty to shape their children’s moral and spiritual upbringing.” This is exactly why @HouseCommerce advanced the App Store Accountability Act to the House Floor. It puts parents in control of the apps their children can download. realclearpolicy.com/articles/2026/…

“The App Store Accountability Act also closes a glaring loophole.” For too long, Big Tech has failed to protect minors in their app stores, exposing them adult and obscene content, and we’re holding them accountable. dailycaller.com/2025/12/11/opi…

My App Store Accountability Act passed Committee! ✅ Thrilled that my bill to empower parents & protect kids online moves one step closer to President Trump's desk. Next step: the House Floor!

🙌 Thank you @HouseCommerce @RepGuthrie for advancing the App Store Accountability Act!!! 88% of parents want these critical tools to better protect their kids online! @SpeakerJohnson @RepJames @RepGusBilirakis @RepHouchin

@RepGuthrie H.R. 3149, the App Store Accountability Act, was reported to the Full House, as amended, by a roll call vote of 26 yeas and 23 nays.

Huge win! The SCREEN Act and the App Store Accountability Act have advanced through the House Energy & Commerce Committee. One step closer to a federal age verification standard to protect kids online. Call the vote, @SpeakerJohnson!

The App Store Accountability Act will ensure parents don’t have to co-parent with the government! This bill protects kids and empowers parents and is common sense.   Great to see @HouseCommerce & @RepGusBilirakis champion parental rights in Congress. floridapolitics.com/archives/77989…

Preventing app stores from knowingly selling adult or addictive content to minors isn’t just common sense, it’s consistent with what we expect from brick-and-mortar stores. The App Store Accountability Act, led by @RepJames, helps ensure that app stores are not selling inappropriate content to minors, while protecting data privacy and security.

It's time to put parents first. It's time to hold Big Tech accountable for putting their profits over child safety. Get the facts about the App Store Accountability Act👇🏾

180 Child Advocacy Organizations SUPPORT the App Store Accountability Act! We can’t wait any longer. Parents across the country are counting on us today to empower them to keep their kids safe online.

More than 1,900 parents have sent letters to their representatives on @HouseCommerce urging them to pass the App Store Accountability Act. This isn't a partisan issue. It's a parental rights priority that holds app stores accountable to the same real world standards.

"Parents, not the state & not corporations, hold the sacred duty to shape their children’s moral and spiritual upbringing. That principle is at the heart of the App Store Accountability Act." Read more from @PYNance @CWforA ahead of @HouseCommerce markup realclearpolicy.com/articles/2026/…
