[<[link removed] Policy Alliance Foundation>] Protecting Children from Apple’s Harmful App Store Practices, with Melissa McKay [Craig DeRoche on the left and Melissa McKay on the right with a YouTube play arrow between them. <[link removed]>] In today’s episode of The SoCon Report podcast, we tackle
a hugely important topic that weighs on parents’ minds: how to protect children from the dangers of
online app stores. Big Tech has crossed a dangerous line, and one mom is
fighting back. Melissa McKay and her team at the Digital Childhood Institute have
filed a sweeping 50-page complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. The
complaint accuses Apple of endangering children through deceptive App Store
practices, including: Marketing
explicit content to minors Allowing
data collection without parental consent Billing parents for unauthorized in-app purchases
Melissa is not just an advocate. She’s a mother of five who
turned her concern for her own kids into a nationwide movement . From
launching the first campaigns demanding App Store accountability to helping
pass Utah’s groundbreaking App Store Accountability Act in 2025, she has become
one of the strongest voices in America for online child safety. You won’t want to miss this episode, so you can learn what
immediate steps you can take as a parent or grandparent to make the internet
safer for the kids you love. WATCH on
