Summary of the law:
> Amends the Child Labor Law. Provides that upon reaching the age of majority, any individual who was a minor engaged in the work of vlogging may request the permanent deletion of any video segment including the likeness, name, or photograph of the individual from any online platform that provided compensation to the individual's parent or parents in exchange for that video content. Provides that a vlogger who features a minor child in a specified amount of the volgger's content shared on an online platform must set aside a specified amount of gross earnings on the video content in a trust account to be preserved for the benefit of the minor upon reaching the age of majority. Provides for the requirements of the trust account. Defines terms.
Seems like an excellent idea to me. I fully support this and hope it becomes federal law one day.
- donatj 3y agoSo any video that pans across a child can be forced off the internet at the will of the child? That’s genuinely absurd, and almost certainly unconstitutional.
- hello_computer 3y agoIt's already codified for adults: https://laws101.com/recording-me-without-my-permission/#:~:text=Violating%20state%20and%20federal%20laws%20on%20recording%20has,and%20you%20can%20initiate%20a%20lawsuit%20against%20them https://laws101.com/recording-me-without-my-permission/#:~:t.... Big divide in liability between public and private spaces though.
- root_axis 3y ago> So any video that pans across a child can be forced off the internet at the will of the child? No, at the will of the adult who was captured on video as a child, and only if the video was monetized. It's not absurd, this is a good law with only positive externalities.
