Stop HB 4901, A Proposal Threatening Parents Rights and Family Freedom Online in Texas

Texas House Bill 4901 threatens your freedoms and puts your personal data at risk—all under the guise of safety. Act now to defend your rights and keep the internet safe for free expression and enterprise.

HB 4901 Threatens Free Speech Online: HB 4901’s age verification requirements could block Texans’ access to lawful information, violating First Amendment rights. Federal courts have struck down similar laws in California, Utah, and elsewhere for restricting free expression.

HB 4901 Creates a Honeypot for Hackers: By forcing app stores—not just Google and Apple—to collect sensitive data like IDs, HB 4901 puts Texans at risk of identity theft. A quarter of minors already face identity fraud before 18—don’t make it worse.

HB 4901 Undermines Parents Rights: Parents, not the government, should guide their children’s online activity. HB 4901 overrides parental authority with one-size-fits-all mandates, ignoring existing parental control tools.

HB 4901 False Sense of Safety: This bill won’t protect kids—it just adds red tape. Real safety comes from law enforcement targeting predators, not bureaucracy that compromises data.

Tell your Texas lawmakers to oppose big government trampling on parent rights.
