I need a lawyer to send a letter to google (explained here) — who would be the best local attorney to contact?
I have a handful of apps on google play as a developer but cannot find a way to delete them, yet still get these legal notices about complying with laws etc, like this:
Update on the U.S. Age Verification Bill in Texas
SERVICE UPDATE
You are receiving this email because you have at least one app on Google Play that is available to, or used by, users in the U.S.
What’s happening
Texas’ App Store Accountability Act, Texas SB 2420, is now in effect after a federal appeals court stayed the preliminary injunction issued in December 2025. This law requires app stores to verify users’ ages, obtain parental consent, and provide users’ age information to developers. It also creates new obligations for app developers who distribute apps in Texas.
It is important that you review this law and understand your obligations. While Google Play continues to have strong reservations about this law's framework for online child safety, we are working to get the capabilities ready to support your compliance needs in Texas.
What this means for you
We had previously announced Play Age Signals API (beta) to help you meet your obligations.
Play Age Signals API version 0.0.3 is ready for your integration now. In the coming weeks, Google Play will require age verification for new users in Texas and the API will start returning age signals for eligible Texas users.
And when i ask google play to delete my playstore apps i get ridiculous responses like this below — how to get free of this hostage scenario — at this point it feels like suing is the only way?
I’m Beau from the Play Developer Support Team, thanks for contacting us.
I understand that you would like to delete your app com.microtechsoft.physics.ohmspaidfrom your developer account. As per checking, I noticed that your app is currently paid.
With this we are unable to proceed deleting your app. As an alternative, please keep your app unpublished to restrict its availability for new users.
Furthermore, since you have multiple apps, we need to process individual deletion requests here for each of your apps to make this transition as smooth and fast as possible.
For more detailed information, you can refer to our Help Center article.
We want to make this process as smooth as possible for you. Please don't hesitate to reply to this email if you need further assistance. We're happy to help. If we do not hear from you, we will consider the matter closed.
Regards,
Beau
