Texas Will Require Your ID to Download Weather Apps. Yes, Really.

Starting January 1, 2026, Texas will require age verification to download ANY app, including weather and sports apps—thanks to SB2420. Apple and Google are warning this destroys user privacy, similar laws are coming to Utah and Louisiana, and there's a federal bill to make it nationwide. I break down what this law actually does, why it's dangerous for both adults AND children, and what you can do to fight back before it's too late.

Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources to protect your data and reclaim your digital identity.
