Evoking debates from the days when child actors had little protections, the digital age is revealing a need for similar types of oversight.
The onus here is really on the parents. And what this law does is it gives children legislative ability to sue their parents if the money is not saved for them.I think one of the fascinating things is how it changes the family dynamic. So one of my sources grew up on a family vlogging YouTube channel. All of the videos together have over a billion views. And she told me that her dad has said to her before,"I am your dad, but I am also your boss.
And at one point, she said,"I don't want to do YouTube anymore." And her dad said,"OK, well, that's fine. But Mom and I are going to have to go back to work. We're going to have to sell this new house."And on how the former child influencers are reacting to the new law: I mean, they're heartened by the law and what they hope it signals, which is really this movement toward reconsidering the role of children online and what privacy means.One source told me, nothing my parents can do now will take back the years of work I had to put in. Childhood cannot be redone. You know, you get one shot at it.
And other states are already starting to follow suit, with one lawmaker in Pennsylvania announcing their hope to pass a similar law.
