Overview
This bill establishes rules for social media platforms regarding child influencers. It requires platforms to provide a mechanism for a child influencer, once 18, to request that their parent, legal guardian, or family member edit or delete paid content featuring them as a minor. The parent, legal guardian, or family member must then remove or alter the content within 10 business days of the request. The bill also defines ‘vlogger’ as a parent, legal guardian, or family member who shares content featuring a child influencer for compensation and creates a path for civil action if the rules are violated.
