Google, Apple clash with Meta over age checks on App Stores: All you need to know

Google has firmly rejected a proposal from Meta to implement age verification through app stores, warning that the measure would be ineffective and could potentially harm user privacy, particularly that of children.

The tech giant voiced its objections in a blog post published Friday, stating that using app store data to determine user age would demand the sharing of sensitive information with millions of app developers, including those who do not offer age-restricted content.
