Description

In the age of social media, “family vloggers” have monetized the lives of their children, documenting milestones ranging from potty training to pimples. But when those kids grow up, there’s not much guarantee that they will get their share of the profits – much less their privacy back. Now, Illinois is the first state in the nation to ensure that child social media influencers receive compensation for their work.

Reset spoke with an Illinois teen who inspired the law as well as a content creator about this issue – and what more regulations are needed.
