Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to veto a bill that would require the company to verify the ages of device owners.

The bill would mandate that, if a minor uses a device, their App Store account be tied to their parents'.

Apple argues that the implementation of the Texas bill could pose a threat to user privacy.
