Dear [Representatives/Senators],
My name is [Josiah Hafner], and I’m 16 years old. I’m writing to ask that you delay the App Store Accountability Act (S.1586/H.R.3149) until March 13, 2027, because I’m one of the millions of teens directly affected by this bill—and I believe our digital rights matter.
This legislation threatens teen autonomy and digital access by raising the app store age minimum from 13 to 18. It mandates parental-linked accounts, violates privacy, and contradicts protections laid out in COPPA. If my parents don’t approve an app I’ve used responsibly for years, I could lose access entirely—stripping me of lawful content, education tools, and creative spaces. That’s not just inconvenient. It’s a real threat to the rights I already have.
Here’s what’s wrong with the bill:
- It lacks a compelling government interest.
- It isn’t narrowly tailored.
- It fails to use the least restrictive means.
- It burdens developers, risks litigation, and undermines youth independence.
Instead of protecting kids, this law removes agency from young people and places outsized control in the hands of gatekeepers—regardless of individual maturity or responsibility. The involvement of organizations like the National Association of Christian Lawmakers also raises concern, as they push legislative models that ignore nuanced realities of teens' lives online.
We’re asking for time. A delay until 2027 allows real dialogue, better analysis, and meaningful reform that supports rather than suppresses youth.
Over 10,000 people are already signing our petition. Please help us make sure teens aren’t silenced. Keep our digital freedoms alive.
Thank you for your leadership and attention to this urgent issue.
Sincerely,
[Josiah Hafner]

"I care about this because it’s not just about phones and apps—it’s about being trusted to make decisions, having privacy, and being treated with basic fairness. ASAA wants to raise the minimum app store age to 18 and link accounts to our parents—even if we’ve been responsibly using certain apps for years. If your parent says no, you could lose access to content you’ve already had. That feels wrong."
"Teens like us deserve respect, not restrictions that assume we’re incapable. This bill breaks with existing law (COPPA), violates our constitutional rights, and gives way too much power to people who don’t understand what it’s like growing up in a digital world."
"We’re not asking to be ignored—we’re asking to be heard. Over 10,000 people already support our petition. Joining this campaign means standing up for fair treatment and making sure lawmakers know that young people aren’t invisible."

🔎 It’s about protecting access to mental health resources, education tools, and expression platforms that many teens rely on. It’s also about making sure laws reflect the actual digital lives we live—not outdated assumptions.
