Apple CEO Tim Cook personally reached out to Texas Governor Greg Abbott to express concern over a proposed bill cracking down on social media use by minors. The bill, known as House Bill 186, would prohibit anyone under 18 from using social media platforms. Apple’s spokesperson stated that the company is “deeply concerned” about the legislation, citing potential privacy issues and calling for alternative proposals. Despite the governor’s statement saying he will review the legislation thoughtfully, Apple has been actively campaigning against it through targeted ads in Austin.
