Apple voices concerns over age-check law that could put user privacy at risk

Apple warns that Texas law SB2420’s age-assurance requirements force app stores and developers to collect sensitive personally identifiable information, increasing privacy and breach risks. The report highlights a recent third-party breach at a Discord age-verification provider that exposed government ID images for roughly 70,000 users and includes claims of 5.5 million records taken from a Zendesk instance, underscoring potential identity-theft consequences and the broader dangers of imposing broad age-verification data collection.
