Apple CEO Cook met with US lawmakers on Wednesday to lobby against a pending child cybersecurity bill. The bill required app store operators to verify the age of users, and Cook instead promoted another version of the plan, handing over the responsibility of protecting children to parents. Apple has expressed concerns about the App Store Accountability Act. The bill requires app stores to verify the age of users to determine whether minors are using potentially harmful apps. The US House Energy and Commerce Committee is scheduled to review the bill on Thursday morning.
