"Protecting Kids from Parental Oversharing: New Social Media Regulations"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by CNN
As the first generation of children raised in the social media era reaches adulthood, many are advocating for laws to protect kids from their parents' oversharing online. These young adults, like Cam Barrett, have experienced significant mental health impacts from having their private lives publicly documented and monetized. Advocates are pushing for financial compensation for children featured in monetized content and the right to delete unwanted posts. States like Illinois have begun passing laws to address these issues, and similar legislation is being considered in other states.
